Replacing stock TBI with MSD Atomic unit?

My stock 350 is developing a top end knock and will be needing replacement soon. I would really like to get the truck (1989 one ton crew cab SRW, old bodystyle) in the 350-400 horsepower range with a lumpy roller cam etc. I know the stock TBI system is certainly able to be warmed over but at the end of the day I feel as though it would be more trial and error and eventually more money out the door than if I were to just build a motor with a new system. I am familiar with what the MSD system needs to work, my question is if I pull the stock TBI system off in favor of this system will I constantly have SES lights due to a lack of stock sensors being in place, am I going to have to hack the wiring just to get ignition? Just wondering what all would be involved in making the swap should I go that route when it comes time to replace the 350. Thanks in advance.
