No, the FI fuel pump and regulator put out MUCH too much
pressure for any carb. You will need to replace the FI fuel pump
(easiest is to just use a stock carb type mechanical pump) and
remove or just disconnect the FI regulator.

The best thing to do would be to connect these to your new air
induction system, whatever that is. Yes, a separate junction box
might be useful, but you have to be careful; such a box is likely to
become a place where oil mist and vapor condenses and collects.
Unless you provide a way for this stuff to drain back into the case it
will spill over into your carbs occasionally and cause trouble.

I think you have to buy a special version for the FI dist which
comes with a modified rotor.
