getting ready to swap to carb

Let me kno what you'll think of the parts im gonna buy.

1. holley street avenger carb 670cfm think thats big enough for my stock heads and cam 350.

2. mallory 4309 3 port fuel pressure regulator so i can reuse the stock fuel pump

3. Edelbrock performer air gap intake for center bolt heads (would go performer rpm air gap but they dont make them for 87-95 heads)

4. msd street fire hei part number msd-8362 i guess thats the one i need to run the non cc carb engine?

Anything else im missing to do this swap and does the stuff i have listend sound good?

Aftermarket cam and heads. What's going to lock up the torque converter on the 700R4? What's going to turn on the cooling fans? It won't be the ECM...
