Did they make a Vortec in 1990? Should just need to change the intake not sure about the distributor. I would see if it has the provision for a mechanical fuel pump if you need one that is.

No, they didn't. 5.7L Vortec came out in 1996. Since those were FI engines, I wouldn't expect to see any provisions for a mechanical fuel pump. You would need to go with a fuel pressure regulator for the carb setup.
