You're probably ok in the rod and jet area but you may have to come up with lighter springs because of the overdrive.

The edelbrock owners guide contains everything a beginner would need to tune this carb.  I'd advise reading it from cover to cover.  If you've lost or never had a copy heres a link for the owner guide (1.83MB pdf doc).

Get a tuning kit from summit. I think Edelbrock also has videos now of how to tune their carbs online... Not sure how good they are but I remember seeing them somewhere on their website.
