I would say that with the carb, all of it can come out. Just plug the vacuum lines as necessary.

FWIW, 23racer runs his with one belt, though I am not thrilled with the wrap angle. I would suggest moving the alternator to the AC location (if possible) this way the belt will wrap further around the waterpump. I'll have a look at mine tonight and see what's up.

Get a 3L220 belt from napa and put it around the waterpump and main pulley.

I ahve run single belts for years, with no overheating issues. I even run a single on my 13bt swapped fb, and at over a 100 mph going over mountain passes in 90 degreee weather, still no cooling issues.
