hehe, removing the EFI is fun. just get out your wrenches and start yanking everything. i think i managed to get everything off in under a hour, including wiring, ECU. etc.
you will need injector plugs from racingbeat.com so you dont have gaping holes in your engine once you go to the carb.
did he say if the carb comes with a manifold? also you have to wonder if you want to ditch your EFI system if its working properly. carbs use more gas and its going to be a pain to tune and adjust at first.
you'll also need a low pressure fuel pump unless you run a return style fuel pressure regulator. basically the conversion isnt a lot of work, but it can get tedious. you'll want to be running a straight through exhaust setup with this too to see any HP gains.
however for $150 thats a steal.

I imagine it shouldn't be too difficult, remoing the EFI and CPU and then putting the carb on and hooking up fuel lines, etc.
