ABodyBetty's new baby comes home!!!

Just got off the phone with Yard Dawg.
We got several choices here for manifolds (all used)
1: 73?ish 1 BBL with EGR etc
2: 5 different ones to choose from if we want to go "old school" 1 BBL and scrap whats left of a 35 year old polution control system.
3: No polution control system with a 2 BBL carb like on Baby.

What would you do?
Original with 35 year who knows what else could be wrong with EGR ETC!
OR
Old school 1 or 2 bbl carb with no polution control?

PLEASE ADVISE!8)
