Default Carb Conversion Part List

Anyone who has done this, I need a part list as I am looking at going this route soon. What do I need to block off/get rid of the opti and go to a traditional distributor? Looking at going with a converted Victor intake, so if i need extra parts for this? Also, does the engine need dropped to do this swap? I know the firewall will need notched some

Intake gaskets, a new carb that will fit the intake, RTV, a fuel pressure regulator to drop the pressure down, fuel return lines if your carb will be running one, hoses for vacuum lines, an air filter?

Can't think of anything else.
