The correct way would be to machine a steel plate to mount under the EGR spacer as to prevent exhaust gases from entering the spacer altogether. This should fool a sniff test inspector and retain the OEM appearance and retain the heated cross-over w/o burning out the spacer or introducing exhaust heat under the carb..
The correct way is what ever the installer finds acceptable.
Blocking off the EGR mount with a plate does NOT drastically introduce exhaust heat under the carb as their is no flow and that space just become dead space and as we all know AIR is the best insulator there is, it is a myth that you need to fully block off the EGR at the intake to drastically reduce the temp under the carb in this style set up.
You really need to study up on FED and STATE Vehicle Emissions Law.
What you are implying is skirting the law hopefully with no repercussions. When you make this assertion, the reader has to understand what he might be undertaking.
-Federal Regulation of Aftermarket Parts-
You really need to look at a map, these laws ONLY apply in the USA, and last time I checked the rest of the planet was not part of the USA. Don't go assuming every body on the planet is bound by American Federal Emission regulations.. Cause guess what we are not.
-Summit Carb Review and Road Test - 2009-
I was at the technical information session when Holley launched the 4010/4011 back in the late 80's The Holley 4010's lead designer was also worked on the 4100 Autolite. And the early 4010's were no prize they suffered from fuel leaks cracked castings inconsistent operation and whole host of other issues. The carb quickly gained a reputation as a bad carb and sales never hit the expected targets.
And the Summit carb is a licensed copy as summit bought production rights and licensed the design from Holley for production, knock off imply's an unlicensed copy of something.
And just as well it is a new casting to be honest as the original was not great to say the least. The Summit carb has been on the market for several years now, early ones has some QA/QC issues but that has long since be resolved and the design was modified to fix some of the short comings in the 4010. I would take the Summit over a rebuilt 4010 any day of the week.
And the OP stated that he has not yet got the Edelbrock Carb the Summit is a cheaper alternative that is simpler to learn on and takes way easier found Holley bits.
Not at all they regularly come up on ebay are found at swap meets on craigslist/Kijiji and still in wrecking yards and are available from many reputable re builders. This is not like to trying to find a 4300D
Ford also used Q jets but I don't see Ford guys running out to get familiar with them.
Again this was made way more over complicated than it needed to be. Every one of threads does not need to degrade in to an FN pissing match and it just discourages newbies from frequenting the board when they get information overload a lot of what brought in this thread had NO relevance to what was asked by the OP. All he wanted to know what adapter he needed to run the Edelbroick on his 351HO Intake.
The answer
An EGR spacer plate such as this

Or a factory one from a 429/460 4BBL with the 4300.
And block off the EGR if you are not using it.
Or build your own.
I would never put anything CHI-COM (other than an OEM Service Part) on my or another persons vehicle.
Since 1971, the federal government has adopted increasingly stringent standards for smog-forming emissions from motor vehicles. The most recent emission regulations for new on-road vehicles and engines were published in the Canada Gazette, Part II, on January 1, 2003. The On-Road Vehicle and Engine Emission Regulations came into force on January 1, 2004. The Regulations align emission standards with the U.S. federal standards and apply to light-duty vehicles (e.g., passenger cars), light-duty trucks (e.g., vans, pickup trucks, sport utility vehicles), heavy-duty vehicles (e.g., trucks and buses), heavy-duty engines and motorcycles.

Each province and territory has it's OWN regulations regarding the retention of emission equipment.
Want to tear it all out in some places it is perfectly legal to do so. Want to have a Diesel that smokes like a steam engine your choice want to pull the cats dump the DPF or what ever else, you can choose to do what ever you want in some locations with NO repercussions.. You are NOT required to keep the emissions equipment intact in some places.
It is up to the province or territory to decide what goes on the road and what does not. You can still home build a vehicle from scratch in some places and it just has to meet the minimum provincial guidelines and emissions is NOT a requirement in some places to get it on the road.
That is his responsibility to figure out. Not ours.
I stated
" it is illegal to modify emissions equipment in some locations but not all, even to this day it can be done in some areas with NO repercussions what so ever (short of voiding new car warranty )"
Your response was
"You really need to study up on FED and STATE Vehicle Emissions Law.
What you are implying is skirting the law hopefully with no repercussions. When you make this assertion, the reader has to understand what he might be undertaking."
There was no HOPEFULLY WITH NO REPRUCUSSIONS implied at all.
YOU implied every one was bound US federal legislation such IS NOT the case.
It was already stated that "it is illegal to modify emissions equipment in some locations but not all"
It is his responsibility to find out what is allowed in his area not ours and I'm pretty sure he has an idea what he can and can not do.
Again muddying the waters with stuff that is not relevant to the discussion at hand.
I spoke to the Edelbrock Tech Line and told them I wanted to convert to Edelbrock 1406 4 bbl. but without EGR. He told me that for 4 bbl "off-road use" (read that EGR delete) I needed their 8714 adapter. Seems like that might work for you too.

Looks like that is the trick to solve the entire issue-

- consumption, I mis-read the Casting I.D. No on the 351W HO intake discussed on this thread.I believe it is actually E6TE 9425-CA
I know some have found this thread overwhelming but it is what it is...
