Question FI to Carbs fuel line question

Hi, I have aquestion regarding what to do with the Return fuel line that goes back to the fuel tank when converting to carbs. Should it be removed, or is it ok to just clamp it shut? Correct me if I am wrong, but when converting to Carbs, this return line becomes useless right?

I use it to bleed off fuel, but you can plug it and clamp it.

Be a geek - go to a speed shop and buy a billet pressure regulator with return. This way you'll have "fresh, cool fuel" to the carbs and you can use the existing fuel pump.

Of course, you'll have to take the Holley sticker off and paint Porsche on it to avoid being sued by Porsche AG for using a non-factory part.
