Cool 454 to Crate 350 Swap

OK, after 4 attempts at getting his 79 K10 454 to pass smog. My kid has decided he's going to get a GMPP Crate Engine. (Summit is in town and is an easy pick up.) We need to figure out what he needs to accomplish this swap.

We have the following to fit a 350:
*Edelbrock intake
*Edel 1406 Carb
*Factory cast exhaust Manifolds
*Alternator

We will need:
*Waterpump
*Dizzy

We'd like to know if we can use these from the 454:
*Flex Plate
*Starter
*Existing engine wiring
*Throttle and TV cables
*Senders & Switches
*Power Steering pump
*Crank pulley

What did we miss?? And cautions or warnings. Other than coming up with a parts list, it seems pretty straight forward.

The 454 was squeezed in by a P/O. The boy plans to re-sell it. Head work needed.

I trust you guys will not send us astray!!
