Edelbrock carb mod

I am contemplating getting an Edelbrick AVS2 500 cfm carb model 1902 for my 67 Commando to replace the old Carter. One thing I noticed is that the choke arrangements are different (Edelbrock is Manual and the Carter is with the old intake heater spring system?) Now my question. Can I make the Edelbrock work with the stock choke actuation system? Or do I need to go with and electric choke?001902_v5_2.jpg 20200515_103300.jpg
