That's the way it's done. Holley was ingenious with that. Have to be careful. Don't jam the needle into the seat, it's safer to remove a float and carefully bend the tab.

I've ran across a couple of those, take's a special needle valve so normal kit won't work and have to make adjustments with the bowls off.
Swapped the bowls on one to standard Holley bowls
