Yes the computer needs to be in. No reason to take it out for a carb swap. It's rare for a computer to go bad in the gmt400's but possible.

With the speedometer stuck on 45, I would say it is more likely a problem with the speedometer itself. With no signal or not moving it should go to 0. The fuel gauge may be as simple as a bad sending unit or a bad ground. Always check the simple things before going into more complicated repairs which may not be necessary.
