Well you don’t need any of the wiring, switch or valve except the gauge sender wire if you deleted one tank.
TBI issue is separate. Can’t help ya there.

I'd leave the selector in place wired and plumbed as factory plug the right tank hoses. Now if you ever want to disable the truck for what ever reason select the right tank and the truck is immobile.

Can I ask you why?

I've done a dozen of these trucks in Carbureted, TBI, and LS swaps (like my personal '86) with dual tanks.

It's easy and convenient to roll around with 32g of gas for long trips, instead of 16...Even ******* still makes the dual valve setup for high pressure applications. Replacement tanks/setups are cheap, and readily available at any parts store.
