Tranny Swap?

I'm swaping an 88' 305 TBI for a 76' 400 Carbed. Will ripping out the computer prevent me from using the stock auto tranny?

Yes it will, but you could get a shift kit that allows you to have full manual control over the shifting.

No it won't. The 700R-4 thats in your car now is completly independant of the computer except for the Torque converter clutch. However, there are two options to get around that. You can either use a toggle switch and control it manualy, or you can get the conversion valve that will automaticly lock the TCC based on speed.
