Thoughts on carb modification

So I have an edelbrock 1406 (i know i know) that sits in my 88 w250hd, because the motor sits back at a small angle it causes this... I want to call it a metal hook, that is linked to the secondaries and controlled by the electronic choke. Once the choke opens up it supposed to release this "hook" and allow the secondaries to be able to open... but like I said because of the angle of the motor relative to being parallel to the ground and my nemesis gravity, it's been looking my secondaries. I removed it. And now my secondaries open when ever I want them too. Is this bad for the carb, and or should I just consider "shaving" it a bit?
