Default 87 TPI help

I'm thinking of purchasing the intake, fuel rails, tubes, plenum and distributer cover from ebay (or other) and having it chromed. Then removing my factory original from my '87 and installing the chromed one.
I'm trying to learn as much as I can first. Do I have to be concerned about MAP or Speed (whatever that is)? Should I make sure that the one I purchase is from another '87 Corvette and not a camaro or TA , 350, 305? Anyone have any thoughts of wisdom ?

Unless you want to go modifying parts , swap like for like.
Must have Vette fuel rails ;
runners / plenum interchange
