Carb to Intake Spacers?

I posted in the carb forum with no responses so I am trying here. I have a '76 F250 SC w/ 460 C6. It has a Carter 9635 AFB on it that I removed to rebuild the carb. Beneath the carb and above the manifold aluminum spacer/adapter plate is a 1/4 inch thick black phenolic vacuum plate with a plugged vacuum port facing the rear of the truck. What is it for and do I need to put it back. It must be providing manifold vacuum but since it's not connected I would rather leave it off. My truck has no egr and it has federal emissions. Thanks for the help.
Mike

It's there to keep the fuel bowls from overheating and boiling the fuel in them since they hang over the hottest part of the intake (exhaust crossover). I use a 1" spacer on mine too.
