I helped with a similar conversion (1990 TBI 305 Camaro to TPI 5.7 Liter) in the summer of 2013. The quick description of what I did was re-pin the TBI computer connectors into the TPI computer connectors. I had a few wires to solder splice under the hood like the injector wiring. I had all the wiring done in less than a day (I'm not a novice at wiring). I needed to salvage a few connectors from the TPI engine harness and solder splice them into the TBI harness, like the injectors.

Most all of the engine management circuits are identical, TPI vs. TBI. Circuits like TPS, IAC, CTS, MAP, ESC, EST, IAC, injectors, battery power, ignition power, ground, and distributor wiring are the same TPI vs. TBI.

Here is a link on how to remove and replace computer pins. http://www.dynamicefi.com/RePinHowTo.php
