I'm not sure that your engine block would have a provision for a mechanical pump, I would get a lower pressure in-line pump. Then again, the TBI set-ups didn't have TOO high line pressure, you MIGHT be able to get a fuel pressure regulator and keep your pump. I believe the TBI ran 12-15psi, a carburetor should be around 7psi. The choke you can wire to any line that gets 12 volts once the ignition key is turned.
It probably will make the check engine light come on, although the computer might still control your transmission alright. If you want to go way over, you could just get some older-style guages and a vacuum controlled transmission lock-up kit and do away with the computer all together.
