Changing to auto choke

I want to change to a carb that has auto choke. Mine is presently manual.
What do I need to do after installing the carb onto the manifold? Isn't there a metal tube that runs off of the choke?

MII, An electric choke is mounted to the side of the carb. One just plugs a 12V wire to it.

Is there some confusion as to what an electric choke is?

Thanks for that info. I was thinking about the auto choke that had a metal tubing that went from the choke to the manifold and the heat regulated it. But the 12 v wire is the difference. I was thinking about buying a new carb with the auto choke, so I did not have it in front of me. If I had, I probably would have seen how it requires a wire hook up.
Thanks
HH
