For race and hi-po applications, you want the coldest air charge you can get, so they get blocked off. Apples to Oranges.
9er .... for us RVers .... keep them "operational" PLUS ! ...
On my 413 -- I am going to INSULATE the intake as much as possible -- to keep that alum intake as warm as possible -- considering that it is just coolant heated.
The Moparts dudes ? ... have you ever seen some "plug readings" that some of those guys have? ... they give "running-RICH" new meaning !! ...... and a few of them have "washed" a few sets of rings too !

Clothespins on the fuel line is an old anti-vapor lock trick. The idea is they act as a heat sink and keep the line a little cooler so the gas doesn't boil.
It has been a while since I have worked on an A engine ... BUT ...
So WHEN does a fuel line come up from the rear of the engine and feed the REAR of the carb ?

Seriously, retrofitting should be fine. Make sure you will want to replace all the seals/o-rings (old ones are not compatible with R-134a - and are probably dry and cracked anyway) and don't forget to change the oil in the compressor as the oil for R-12 isn't the same as the oil for R-134a.
Remove the compressor and turn it so you can pour the oil into a container. Then put the same amount of the right oil back in. Should be about 7 oz. or so.
