Newbie dumb question of the day - carb

Ok,

So the 2.8 has an electronically metered Rochester 2bbl. Can anyone tell me what parts I need to change to get to something more "normal"?

I am assuming:

1. Holley/Edelbrock vacuum advance carb
2. Intake manifold

What else? I'd REALLY like to get rid of the stupid computer control on this vehicle.

Thanks much

You have an 82-84? To ditch the computer, you'll also need a 2.8 vacuum-advance distributor of your choice, and an ignition box.
