Default EFI to Carb conversion?

I have a 89 LX and Im putting a 347 stroker in it. Im thinking about changing the EFI to a carb. Is this a hard thing to do and what all is involved? Any help you guys can give me to steer me in the right direction would be great..

The hardest part is getting the fule pump relay set up. Deciding to run your own relay or splicing into the existing chassis harness to get to the relay. Get you a remanufactured dizzy from a 1985 GT. Thay have the iron gear on the botttom, if not go with Accel or MSD dizzy's, theyre rpicy though.

Hey Crump, where in SC do you live? I think every vehicle from 30 years back is exempt from emissions, isnt it? Or is it 25years?
