Default Divorced Choke to Electric on 318LA Engine

I have a holley with electric choke - anything I need to know in advance in dealing with the divorced choke setup as I swap carbs - currently my '83 has a leaking thermoquad which I wish to fiddle with on the bench over time to determine where and how it is leaking. Thanks!

You may have to adjust the outer choke body to get it to "choke" correctly. It may "choke" to much also.

What do I need to do to the divorce choke setup on intake when I remove thermoquad? Blocking plate or other? Thanks
