Substitute 1 cup of live starter per package of yeast. Then subtract about 1/2 cup of water and 3/4 cup of flour from the recipe to compensate for the water and flour in the starter. Sourdough needs more rising time than the active yeast, so I do two rises.

Other than that, I don't see that you'd need to change your recipe.
