CFI runs very well if you know it's issues. A lot if it's goofy problems are actually related to the timing chain. They had plastic gears which wear out and get very sloppy. If you don't replace them, the chain can jump and lunch the motor. Doesn't matter whats sitting on top, the engine itself must be right internally or its still gonna run like garbage with a carb or FI. Before you go ripping stuff off the car, make sure you know what you are working with. What year is the car anyway? There are two different CFI systems, one in 83, one from 84-85. I'd wager that a tuneup, a timing chain, and some vacuum lines will have that thing running like a top. If you want to go carb, fine, but you still need a good timing chain and ignition parts to do it.
Simply ripping parts off the car is no way to fix anything. Learn what you have and why its doing what its doing first, otherwise you might be trying to fix problems with the wrong solution, and that just leads to a lot of wasted time and money.
