I'm about to swap the old and tired 305 to a 350 too. In my case, the 350 is a complete rubuilt mid-70's 4-bolt (9.5 compression, 278/288° cam, etc).
I want to keep the stock Qjet carb, combined with a Performer or Performer RPM intake. According to the engine builder this should put me somewhere in the 290-300HP ballpark.
While keeping the Qjet and computer, I want to get rid of most of the emissions stuff (not needed for a '85 here). Previous owner alreday changed the cat to one without air tube, so the pump will definitly go. I might keep the EGR, but not sure for now. Will the computer throw any codes without the pump?
