Not recommended on the "new style" TB adapter - the cast aluminum is too thin.
There are optional places on the stock intake manifold which are stronger / better.

calio,
I have a TII upper manifold that has two injector bungs welded into it. Very nice looking. I used it when I had an AIC III. I'd be willing to let it go it you're interested.
I'll try to get pics up tomorrow, if you like.

Don't use additional injectors. The controllers are crude at best and EFI manifolds are designed to carry only air, not an air/fuel mix. Get bigger injectors instead.

These phenomenon are well-know and well-proven. They are the reason manufacturers replaced early single-point EFI systems with multi-point systems two decades ago. I know full-well that additional injectors work, I'm just saying they don't work nearly as well as injectors in the factory locations. Injectors added a bit further upstream from the stock injectors are okay (e.g. in the secondary runners), but injectors mounted pre-TB should be avoided at all costs. This isn't rocket science.
BUt what if you only need 5-10% more fuel for top end or safety? Why spend $2-400 for a set of injectors, when you might already have a set of small stockers (or smaller stockers off another car that could work) that would do the job for free?
An S-AFC is no patch on a proper EMS, but it makes your average AIC look worse than a carb.
