Try this for a start.

Any specific problems can then be asked.

In theory, it should be a case of removing the ecu and associated wiring both to the engine and to the fuse box.

I haven't done the engine you have but have removed the injection system from the 1400 16v and put it on carbs.

They'll be bits like distributor and ignition amps etc.

paul_c has done plenty of engine conversions and seems to know his onions. I'm sure he'll be along shortly with some great advice

Ummmm, this is a KR on carbs though…..!!

If anything, its simpler than the GTI K-Jet injection setup - you'll effectively be disconnecting and not re-using the connections for:

5th injector
Aux air valve
Warm-up regulator

The other ones will be limited to distributor hall sender, coolant temp, oil pressure switch(es).

I don't know what your plan for fuel pump is - are you going to use some other electric fuel pump? If so it would make sense to re-use and re-route (well, use another wire from the fuse box) the fuel pump power feed wire, since the fuel pump relay has a prime and cut-off if the engine stalls. I can't remember the colour/location but a wiring diagram will help you here.

Obviously it makes sense to simply re-use the original electronic ignition control module, I think its called the TCI on a Mk1 Golf?
