Add an electric choke or a manual choke to it, other wise your car won't run for crap till it warms up, if you can even keep it running.

Yep, spend a few hundred bucks and you'll get an extra 2hp, lose 10lb/ft and drop 3mpg. If it's tuned properly.

If it's not tuned properly, you'll lose 20hp, 30lb/ft, and 5mpg.

My personal opinion, the only people who retrofit to carb are people who don't take the time to understand EFI.

I've never understood the desire to retrofit, really. For the cost of converting you could add those GT40P heads you wanted. Now even the best carb tune is still 30hp lower, and probably 50lb/ft of torque out of the ballpark. If you're just mad at the Cartech and want an intake, you can get a used Cobra on Ebay for about $250. That'll save you a good $150 over the conversion.
