I  think that it goes pretty much computerless. You would need a new upper intake obviously.

*Ahem* and a "lower" intake.  Carb setups only use the intake manifold and the carb.  Carb uses a one-piece intake as opposed to EFI's 2-piece. 

Here's an article that will describe the process:

Do you have Sequential EFI? ('86+) or CFI that says "EFI" on the air cleaner (83'-'85)?  What year is your car.  If it's CFI, then here's the proper article:
