Taking a class at EFI University (www.efi101.com) might not be a bad idea to help give you an idea of how all the sensors work together and how to setup and tune your system. It's been about 15 years since we put my daily driver on standalone, so I'm pretty rusty, but if you have a CS prop, you could set the mixture by rpm and map. If fixed pitch, you may want to have throttle position come into play so you can go "full rich" for a high DA take off, but pull it back 3-5% for lean cruise.

Gonna be interesting building the system with throttle body, sensors (intake air temp, engine temp, TPS, crank trigger, MAP), pump(s), regulator, coil packs, injectors and mounts, flywheel magnets. But it seems you have friends with experience applying this ECU.

No backup ECU?
Liquid cooled V8. Mechanical throttle. Max engine rpm is 4500.

Feed back from an ECU company leads us to go with a single ECU.

We looked at all of the historical data on this.
