I have the early manifold (fuel pump stand is across the manifold not an an angle) on my 59 series engine in my 40 coupe, running stock fuel pump. I am running a small re-jetted Holley 4bbl mounted backwards for the throttle linkage to be on the passenger side. And yes, you need to raise the carb up with a 1" spacer due to interference from the radiator hoses coming out of the center of the heads.
I also removed the electric choke and swapped the choke and throttle knobs in the dash to hook the choke up, the throttle is just a dummy now.
