You've got a hard road to hoe either way you go.

If you decide to restore the FI, this is difficult  you are very familiar with 
the system. Plus you're going to have to replace the fuel tank, distributor, 
injectors, and fuel pump. The pump and injectors are rather expensive.

The road to carbs is also non-trivial. I'm a FI guy, so I'll let others comment 
on your carbs. Myself, I think the road is much easier if you have stock carbs, 
because all the engineering has already been done for you.
