What do I need to do to convert to carburation?

I converted my 88 to a carb, saved a ton of money and went alot faster. I still realize that efi has its benefits but for me it was cost. The cost of converting over to mass air, larger injectors new intake, throttle bodies, pumps, etc,etc all cost money. I spent that cash on a stroker 393.
You will need to find a longer throttle cable, and intake of your choice that suits your application, you also need the small braket that mounts the cable to the intake. These can be found on many cars, Granda, Monarchs, early mustangs and Capris just to name a few.
I used my stock efi pump and bought a mallory fuel regulator, used one side to hook into the fuel return side and the other feeds a constant 8 Psi to my Holley. I bought two brass fittings one was 5/16 and the other was 1/4 for the return line.I also kept my fuel filter at the tank, works great and flows like crazy.
I used a MSD Ignition, but a early stock control unit would be easy to locate and use, along with a Dist.
Hope this helps, I don't think your crazy, just adventurous..
