the search should work...

anyhooooo
take off the ecu, wiring (bar starter, alternator, coolant temp etc), remove inlet, fit T40's inlet with carbs, fit a low pressure fuel pump and pressure reg for 3-5psi.

fitting a cam will be as per haynes instructions

If its a early gsi(with e16se)
Just unplug the entire engine loom and ecu, and remove it.
Then you'll just need to wire 3 wires to the sr ignition coil/module for the ignition side of things.
