removing electronic carb and smog

[1984 swb chevy]

I am removing the electronic quadrajet and smog set up from my truck. I installed an aluminum intake and edelbrock carb. I got the truck running but I have an engine light. I would like to eliminate all the smog parts(California Truck)but I am not sure what to remove. My distributor has extra wires so I guess I will have to replace it with a non computer type HEI. Does anyone have any info on what else I need to do to make it run right. Thanks for any help.
