Thats pretty much it. Would like to get rid of the edelbrock on my 78 and stick a electric choke q-jet on it.
 
The carb 1 ton`s, were not computer controlled. My 86 has a regular non electronic, elec choke Q-jet.
 
I'm thinking it was 81 when the electric started and 87 and up was FI..
 
My old '85 C10, V6 (4.3L) (non-CA) had a elec. choke 4bbl q-jet. that had no other computer controls on it.
 
Been awhile since I messed with them, but was pretty simple as I recall. Trucks were not CCC *unless* new, they were originally destined for CA.

All sorts of weirdness AFTER 1986, but generally trucks were not CCC (again except if CA destined originally), all US cars were CCC 1981+.

And to clear up any possible confusion, all 305's '81+ had ESC/EST (electronic spark control or electronic spark timing) due to the higher compression, but that was a distributor only deal essentially.

CCC had two electrical plugs (three if you count the choke): Mixture control solenoid (passenger side, top, front of carb) and Throttle position sensor (drivers side, front of carb). GM had a good variety of non-CCC carbs with electrical connections where the MCS was on CCC, but that was something else.
