You will likely want to find a complete system in a car to do the swap. There are too many little items to remember-come up with to try to do one from scratch IMO. The differences between the the FI and carb systems are: the high pressure line is routed differently due to the air filter box location being in the same spot the washer reservoir is in the carb setup, the wiring harness is different, and the carb model has a box labeled an amplifier for a signal inline at the evaporator box. Another thing to keep in min is you hve 2 types of FI systems, factory type and dealer installed. THe easiest ID for these two is that the factory type has a hard line high pressure line that runs along the fenderwell on the passenger side and only one rubber low pressure line to the evaporator, and the compressor mounts on a bracket that bolts on the engine. The dealer installed system has 2 rubber hoses that run side by side into the evaporator instead, and the compressor mounts directly to the engine without the bracket. I also have one example of an aftermarket system that has a Sanden compressor with the fill/test fittings on the compressor, and universal lines made of rubber, high & low side to the evaporator. To me, it looks at first glance to be aftermarket though, and should be easy to spot as a non factory or dealer kit.
