Re: need help!!
As long as the machining on the throttle bodies is good enough that they won't bind or have problems like that, there should be no problem using them. Throttle bodies either work on they don't; they're just a cylinder with a throttle plate so the only important part is their throttle shaft bearings and the machining quality. Use your judgment.
You'll need some type of vacuum accumulator and a different type of MAP sensor, and you'll definitely need a good solution for tuning.

Re: need help!!
Sensors will depend on the throttle body setup. You usually can't use the stock MAP sensor because of physical differences in mounting, and usually not the TPS sensor either unless it's the same type of shaft and mounting pattern on the ITB setup you buy. IAT is often different also. For a MAP you can usually use a GM remote mount sensor (with tubing), they're a convenient firewall mount sensor and the characterization curves are already included in most tuning software for at least the 2 and 3 BAR versions.
None of these things really matter though because you'll need to get tuned anyway and non-stock sensors can be changed in the tuning software.
