If/when I go through with the weber install I'll remove the coolant barb and swap it for something like an off the shelf barb for a Ford manifold (it looks like it's the same diameter and thread cut) as it won't need the small side coolant barb that connects to the auto choke on the Mikuni. If you are brave enough you can attempt what I have done and completely cut the exhaust gallery off the manifold to delete the EGR junk - http://www.mightyram50.net/vbulletin...take-manifold?
