Default Fuel injection to Carb' Swap-1995 2wdRegCab-ECU HELP

So I have a 1995 c-body 2wd Regular Cab truck and currently it is a 5 speed with a 4.3L TBi v6, which is utter junk. I am going to pick up a 350 soon that is a traditional 350 that is carb'd. What signals do i need to feed the ECU to make sure it still deploys the airbag? I know speed from the transmission, Voltage from the alt' and some how RPM's. I am thinking of getting a MSD ignition setup and i bet you could use some kind of signal or data line from it to feed into the ECU.

I might also pick up a different transmission which im sure all modern ones (t56) have that speed sensor or signal that goes to the ECU.
I am pretty smart about traditional things but the Newer ECu's im having trouble learning about.

Awww comeon. Does nobody know about this? I just need to airbags to deploy so that the car can still be safe. Screw everything else. I mean the check engine light can come on and all that stuff and it doesnt matter.

Ok. Thank you.
I just want to be able to turn the key on and everything the ECU needs to make sure the airbag deploys is available to it. I will have like almost a whole 'nother wiring harness for the engine and i will be able to cut it off and start it with my own switches which i am installing right now.

Yeah cuz most do alarms and know the electronics inside and out you may have to shop around but Ecu is kinda a black box to most people
