Do you have the Olds 307 or are you still planning to swap the 307 with the 350?
I hope the latter.... Dumping the electronic engine controls and replacing with regular is not going to gain you much, other than weight loss.
Here is a page on 307 mods...

The 350 swap is the way to go for sure.

I do not know much about gear swaps, but that will wake the thing up for sure.
