Just carb it?

OK here I go exposing my ignorance. I get the impression the EFI on my '91 ... er ... sucks. And theres all kindsa useless (if I don't know what it is it must be useless, right?) hoses and canisters all over the engine compartment. Why not just jerk it all out and drop in an Edelbrock manifold with a Holley or quadrajet on it?

because the heads are different for EFI engines, and the carbed manifolds won't bolt up.
