well, it's a bit tedious, but it's not very hard. 4 nuts hold it down, plus the linkage, cables and OMP lines - that's it. my only bit of advice is to make sure you remove the nuts and put them somewhere away from the engine bay ... they have this magical power of jumping from the strut tower and into the intake runners - don't ask, just trust me!

why not just rebuild the acc pump while it is on the carb. Do a search, sterling had a good post on this.
If you do pull the carb, it is handy to have one of those long flexible magnet thingies. Makes it easier to get the nuts off. Especially when you drop one.
