Yes they're supposed to be there. As long as the gasket is sealed on both sides they really don't matter.

1988 N/A SE model FC, dead stock and less than 85k on the clock. This one actually runs, so I don't fuck with it.

Just buy a 1/2 " phenolic spacer for holley/dellorto same bolt pattern. Get one with 1 vac source as it seems that is what you need. Don't buy a new "tray". Either are also easy to drill and tap for vac also.

This or aluminum.
