Early 90s F150 engine into 83 TBird

If you've been following the saga of my car then you know I'm planning to swap in a used engine for a while so I can rebuild the original at my leisure.  90 and up F150s are fairly plentiful at PicknPull and they're supposed to have good heads so I like them for a 302 swap.  I'm just wondering now about some of the details.  I know I'll have to swap on my current carb and manifold in place of the F150s fuel injection system.  Is there anything else I should be considering like will it still have a mechanical fuel pump?  Things of that nature.  From what I know the F150 302 will bolt in place of my original just fine but it's the secondary systems that have me wondering.
