Fuel injection to carburation

I have a 1987 Chevrolet Silverado R10 with a 350 TBI and its got more issues than I can count. the trucks engine has been backyard mechanic wired and does not run good at all it runs rich the service engine soon light is on and sounds like I have the timing way of and has a radical lope to it. this engine was rebuilt sometime ago and they thought it would be good to put a bigger cam in it but it made it much worse. I had the TBI apart and my pressure regulator is leaking but along with that my drivers bank is running rich compared to the passenger bank. To make a long story short I plan on converting to carburation change the intake distributor hopefully a Rochester four barrel non emission control no engine computer and change the valve train components back to stock. I know theirs a lot more i left out but just wanted some input the engine has to come out its got a chewed flywheel and along with the engine control issues i plan on just overhauling the entire engine and build it to flow with non EFI. i figure i will have to change exhaust components and make a hot air choke work along with a mechanical pump or an electric pump. and sorry for the spelling error my auto correct would not let me spell it correctly is comes out carburation.

Thanks for any input anyone has in advance.
