Having a good freind mechanic get you a sticker is usually the way to go to avoid little nit picking issues of making your 1984 BB a 1990 BB in the end.
For all they know that engine will be a 1990 454 TBI when it is said and done.

This is just one more thing I can't stand about tree hugging libtards. Anything EFI is going to run cleaner than anything carb. Requiring an EO number to upgrade to EFI is a a leap of futility if your goal is cleaner air and not making $$$. I am glad I don't have to deal with C.A.R.B. I probably would have written them a letter explaining just how stupid they are if I had to deal with them.
