The existing idle air system will be retained. If the matter of possible fuel crossover in the idle air passages is thought to be a real concern (the condition exists with the CIS also) the passages can be blocked, and idle air introduced into the plenum.
The existing throttle body has a switch mounted on it which can be replaced with a TPS.
Once the CIS air flow meter/fuel distributor package is removed an air filter can be attached to the throttle body.
That’s good feedback, but I’d rather buy once and cry once. I have a few other cars so I’m not worried about having to sort through kinks and take my time here. The most likely scenario is that I’ll buy a spare engine and build it while I’m still driving on the other one. Total newbie to the EFI conversion world, but I’ve been wrenching on my cars since I was a sprite back in the 90s - so hopefully that will help me avoid effing up too hard.
