Hate computers
How much trouble am I going to have getting rid of all the electronic crap on my 92 F-150 with an AOD transmission . I don't have the tools or patience to work on all of that . It has a 5.0 in it now .I'd like to just get rid of all the electronics except for an electronic ignition .

You would need an intake and carb. Are you aquainted with carburetors? You must select one compatible with the TV linkage/cable for your AOD, and adjust it accordingly. I'm not sure what else electronically you'll run into, as the ignition is part of the deal.
This isn't an engine swap so I am moving you over the the SBF forum where this question is asked and answered all the time.

It's going to be a big job!
Along with replacing the whole induction system with a carb and intake you have to rebuild the fuel delivery system for carb duty, replace the distributor with either a points, duraspark, or aftermarket version and wire in any other needed components like an ignition control box, rewire the dash gauges to work with the stripped down motor, and install and calibrate a carb version of the AOD TV cable.
What is going on with the truck now that you can't seem to figure out? Unless the wiring in the truck has been chewed to bits by rodents it's likely to be a lot easier and quicker to fix what you got. A code reader for this thing is dirt cheap and will go a long way towards keeping your sanity along with whatever help you can find here.

Nothing wrong with per say I just don't have the patience to do the electrical stuff with all the air flow sensors and throttle sensors and all the other ors . Just give me a carburetor , an electronic ignition and I'm good to go .

So I can use an old school electronic ignition and an electric fuel pump with a manual toggle switch bolted to the frame rail and the only other thing I have to figure out is the cable for the O.D transmission ? And an old school manifold ?

Yes. But I would supply the power for the electric pump off a key'd switch source and route it through the impact switch. This way the power will be cut if you have a wreck. In my Ranger, I left the EFI wiring in place but moved out of the way in case I decided to go back and use it. I cut power to the computer too by removing the fuse to it
