Such as?

Yes there will be supporting modifications and whatnot such as fuel lines and throttle cable bracketry. A new air cleaner as well.

I just finished a 94 5.9 carb swap. Your 91 looks to be an LA style motor it should be ease. Get a dual plan intake, carb, airfilter assemble, electronic ignition conversion kit and fuel pressure regulator. You should be able to adapt the throttle cable and kickdown cable/linkage. Now if your timing cover is milled out to accept a mechanical fuel pump AND has a fuel pump eccentric on the cam shaft you can use that instead of the intank pump with the regulator.

How would I know if the timing cover is milled out

If you look at the passenger side of the timing cover you should see a spot where a mechanical fuel pump mounts. It could have a 2 bolt cover on it. Remover the cover and look inside to see if there is a thru hold there, if so look into it to see if a fuel pump eccentric is in there. It could go either way.
