Carb jetting

Hello kzeers,
I have a '78 Kz1000 stock engine. I am installing 29mm smoothbores, bike did not come with airbox. Looking for pods and what kind of side cover mode if using the K&n route. Also, carb settings I have main 115, pilot 17.5 and 1.5mm slides. Should I get the 120 for the main jet? Thanks for your input
