The other benefit of K-jet over the older D-jet, is that there is no computer to deal with. Put in a bigger cam, and it simply sucks more air and fuel. Unlike the D-jet, which can't deal all that well with more than tweaking in the way of performance mods.
What carbs were you thinking of? If you're going with SU's, HIF's are more reliable than HS's. Also, you'll get more power out of dual HIF 6's than a single downdraft weber. I've never liked the single weber set up. Always seemed like a step in the wrong direction to me. Now, a pair of DCOE Webers... but then, to use a pair of those, you'd need to build the rest of the engine up to handle that much carburation.
Unless the K-jet suffered some catastrophic failure, I'd clean it up and use it. Working properly it's worlds better than carbs just in terms of reliability. One other thing that I've done to cap off the injector ports is to cut and drillaluminum plates, then put a rubber o ring underneath them and bolt them down to the top of the head. Worked pretty well. (not really my inovation, friend came up with it.)
