Help! Edelbrock intake swap

I'm swapping my stock intake/2bbl carb on my '73 304 with the
Edelbrock Performer intake and 4bbl. Everything went smoothly except
for three things: the carb-to-manifold studs are different (just a run
to NAPA for the correct bolts), but the throttle linkage and the
transmission kickdown linkage are quite different and I don't know how
to adapt the stock parts to the new Edelbrock linkage. From someone
that's done this swap, what have you done? What did it take to get it
to work? Also, there was a metal tray attached underneath the stock
manifold, is that just a heat shield? I didn't swap it over, it looked
like it was mounted with studs. Should I yank the manifold back off and
swap that part, or is it not critical? Sure does look nice under there,
I'll be taking it off to paint it later on and when I swap my cam, and
the thing definitely weighs a lot less than the stock lead brick!
Thanks for any help, please respond ASAP, I need to have my car on the
road Monday!
