This THREAD lists the parts for that exact same swap if you're going to put a TPI motor in a 305 TBI car.
Pay close attention to the year model statements. Putting an "earlier than '87" TPI in the '88 will be much more difficult.
Having a "donor car" from a junkyard is the way to go. It will have the fuel lines, ECM, wiring harness, and other stuff that would make the swap too expensive if bought new.
