Default TBI to carbureter conversion?

I believe that on of the fuel injectors on my Holley performance throttle body is bad. It is 1990 3/4 ton 5.7 350 TBI, it is consistently dumping fuel into the intake chamber and flooding it. It will not start due to that problem. I want to get rid of the entire throttle body system and convert to simple carburetor. I know that I can just buy a new intake (with the proper square hole) and buy a good carburetor and bolt it on, but I was just wondering if there is anything else that would be a problem i.e. Vacuum lines, Electrical, etc. Any suggestions would be great, I miss driving the Tank.

Thanks 1Gary, Ya I will try to just fix the problem that it has and hope it works. Where would I get a fuel pressure regulator for a Holley TBI. I also plan on replacing the map sensor. Some say it could be the problem.
