Default Will this package work with my '81

I am just about to order this from Summit, can anyone see any problems with this working on my '81? One of the questions I am worried about is, should they be straight plug style? I think they should be.
Anyway here is the pacakge, links for each item:-

I want to get this right as being from the UK, it wont be possible to return them, would be a very costly mistake if the parts I order are wrong.
Thanks for looking.

You did notice that is a square bore carb and a spread bore intake?

The performer eps is a square bore intake. I think it is pretty much the same as the performer

About the spark plug direction -- are you, or will you be, running headers ??

I don't think you can do angle plugs with the stock manifolds.

I am running stock 81 tubular headers. So I guess it will be the straight plug type.
