Default 1981 Corvette emissions removal

Hello, I have a 81 vette with a 4 speed. I now live where there is no emissions testing. What steps do I take for removal and wiring connections? Here is what I have already bought:
Doug's Headers and side pipes
Edelbrock 600cfm carb and manifold
Edelbrock Camshaft
Edelbrock Geardrives
Street Fire MSD distributor

Thank you

Question:

Are you planning on removing the parts needed so you can install your new ones all by yourself??

Christopher81,
I owned an 81 4-speed, and they are relatively rare. Don't quote me, but if I remember correctly there were only 5,000 built out of 45,000 that year....you may want to think about keeping it stock.
