Not a problem.

Since you live in California, you simply need to find a TBI or TPI
350-powered camaro, corvette, trans-am/firebird in the junkyard, leach
the intake, runners, EFI stuff, harness and computer.

Feel free to take extra bolts and bracketry and the like, but if you use
a california car as a donor for the EFI, it will be tuned as such.

Its a time consuming swap, simply because there are a lot of wires,
sensors, and other things that you need to take, but its not
mechanically difficult.  If you take the intake up out as one assembly,
it would be easier.  THough, to get the intake bolts off the plenum has
to be yanked.  Make sure you bring a large knapsack or a large box to
put all the pieces in.
