first off you dont want to use the same fuel lines or the same fuel pump and your gonna be hooking it all to a regulator first then you will have 2 lines run from your regulator to your carb

Mostly correct, Mallory is the only company that I am aware of that sells a high pressure to low pressure return style regulator designed for converting an EFI fuel system to a carb. Summit sells them. With this regulator you can use the same lines and pump all the way up to the inner frame rail in the engine bay. There you would mount the regulator, hook it up to the stock steel lines using a flare tool and some hose clamps. Then you can use braided hose for the rest of the set up. Most stock style carb setups use 3/8" hose barbs.

What else do you need to go from EFI to Carb? I know the intake and carb and the above mentioned, but is that it?

I think Aeromotive makes a regulator for this application too.

Yeah, you might want to make sure your pressure is set below 10 psi before hooking it up to the carb or you might damage the carb. Also, double and triple check your work for leaks. Fuel system leaks are a sure way to end up with a burnt pile of ash where your car used to be.

Also, if you have the extra money, Army Navy (AN) fittings are the way to go.

You also might want to consider upgrading your whole fuel system if your power level is going to be much above 300 hp.
