welcome to TGO!

this has been done by quite a few of the members around here (myself included) and you should be able to find answers to all of your questions over here:

most of the wiring can come out, you'll need a new distributor, and you'll have to figure out whether you want to use the stock electric in tank pump or remove it and do a mechanical pump. which trans you have will add to the work, but you should be able to find more details there too
