You will need intake/carb/fuel pump and regulator/dist./coil/ignition (duraspark or msd)fuel line/in tank pick up (or modify the stock one) valve covers (or modify stock ones)/air cleaner. I think thats about it. I can show you how to wire up the a/c once you get the conversion done. Let me know if you need any help/tips.

For the most part yes.
You will want to go to at least a Holley Blue pump and bigger fuel lines. Add a adjustable fuel pressure regulator, and a better intake manifold. The Edelbrock Performer RPM Air Gap is a nice piece.
The distributor should drop right in but if you change the cam make sure you have the correct distrib. gear to match the cam.

Since you never messaged me...... I am using the stock EFI tank and pump to feed my 351w. Aeromotive sells a EFI to Carb regulator to solve this problem.
