92 4runner body onto 85 4runner frame with buick 3.8

So I'm starting a body swap 92 4runner onto 85 4runner frame. I was originally going to do a sas but figured might as well use the Buick 3.8 that's already in the 85 4runner too.
Specs: 92 has a 2" body lift so it'll have the clearance, ifs with a 3.0, cvs are gone front ends running like crap. 85 has a 6" suspension with a Buick 3.8 carbed, bodys rusted out but frame is all good to go.
I know i'll be doing some fabbing on the 85 frame, what I need to know is how to do the wiring. So I keep my ecu from the 92 but how do I by pass all the efi stuff to have it run the carbed buick and just everything needed to know about wiring. The 85 is completely wired and was running with the buick but I pulled all the inside wiring harness up to the dash, still together. Any info will help, thanks!

It's pretty much a engine swap, but just wondering if this is in the right section?
