[T3] FI to Carb conversion

[B Fye]

Pull the FI stuff, don't cut it out and make sure you put a mechanical pump on it as the FI pump has way too much pressure.  Stock T3 carbs only need 3 PSI

However, I haven't been able to drive it for over a year and we've put around $6000 in repairs in it and it's time. My (new) mechanic has been speaking to other classic VW mechanics who have all said to convert. I gave him permission to do so. He said if I could ask y'all for any information about converting it, that would help him get it done faster. He has to research how to do it. So! If any of you have experience, know what parts are needed, know where to get them. Any information whether it seems insignificant or very important will be appreciated.
