That will work, send that guy a message if you want a 5 speed version of it.

The car is a 1987 camaro z28 which originally came with a 305 carbureted and T5 trans and i swapped the engine for a 350 but took the original intake/ carb off the 305 and placed it on the 350. now i have the 350 in place and have no clue to where all my connectors and wire plugs fit or where half of them go, does anyone know where i can see a diagram???

For the record, your year Z28 came both carbureted and TPI (fuel injected). You have a carburetor, it doesn't have injectors, and it's not a TBI.
I have a 3rd gen Haynes repair manual that has decent wiring diagrams. However, they aren't illustrated with pictures, you follow the wire's color coding schematic.
If you had a picture or two showing the wires and unused connections, that may help some.

I just went out and bought a HAYNES Repair manual so i should get it . . .
so with this setup all i need is to get a new PROM chip, i have the original Knock sensor that came on the 350, also will the T5 manual Trans hold up to the 350?
just wondering though, Does anyone think that just putting a Carb, tubular non EGR headers and going without any of the Emissions Control System on it would be best? but the Check Engine light probably would never shut off would it....

No, it will only get it to run , not run properly. It won't run very well.The ecm will still think there are 305 injectors in there. That is one problem. It will only give you enough fuel to cover the small 19 lb 305 injectors! Not enough fuel. Also, he will need the 350 knock sensor, which is different also, and the 350 ESC module. The most important part of the swap is the prom chip though. THere are too many differences inside the chips between a 305 and 350. Trust me , I have been burning chips for years.
