The double deuce shorty intake is mostly nestled safely in a box under my workbench.
One of the Dellortos is fanorked. Needs rebuilt. (The idle circuit is plugged.)
I put the Holley on until I got those sorted.
For my asking price, they'll come with the car. Don't have time to rebuild them. (Check eBay. They aren't cheap. Rebuild kits are.)

As for driving it to Augusta, the brakes are not sorted. I'm not comfortable driving it like it is. Sorry.
(I really suspect that the rears being out of adjustment might be part of the problem, but again, I don't have time to mess with them, any time soon. All my experience is with 88s. This is a learning curve for me. At worst, my new/rebuilt Advance Auto master cylinder may be bad. It acts just like the one I replaced.)

(Unfortunately, I will miss the WW ceremony. I have a family commitment that I cannot get around.)

For what it is, it's actually dead simple. The computer and EFI are completely non-existent.
Having said that, there is very little "stock" about anything on the car. There are no service manuals that cover it "as built".
There is probably documentation of the distributor and MSD box, out on the web. (I actually found some MSD info.)
And a Holley is about as simple as you can get, in terms of carbs. But it was a steep learning curve for me.

To directly answer your question, I wouldn't recommend it in your case. Not that I'm afraid that it would break. Just that I'd hate to see it sit, unused, if it did. Nothing about the car is intuitive.
Good to see you. Been a while.

You can buy my 85gt 7730ecm conversion all tuned up....just so happens to be conveniently priced at $5500. Then I'll buy Raydar's and everybody wins!
