I have an 85 w/AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l I-6, and I put on a weber 32/34 and was able to clear out almost all of the vac hoses and air intake hoses. Also already done the nutter bypass. The Weber was a steal of a deal for me, otherwise I prob. would have went with a Motorcraft 2100. Still working on fine tuning the carb for max performance. Anyway easy to get rid of emissions once you kill the carter BBD.

Go to the wire bundle coming out of the firewall from the computer and trace them down to where they go clip them off rewrap the harness and that alone gets rid of half of your wire harness...the only vacum hoses you need is the PCV, crank case breather, and distro advance the rest is not needed 
its not to hard really

Did you have any trouble with that Weber needing adjustment? Mine just does not run like it should, sputters and no power. just asking.
