Another option might be to use a spacer under the carburetor and add as many fittings as necessary. A phenolic spacer would insulate the carb slightly and could help prevent or reduce unwanted fuel vaporization. Today's fuel definitely does not perform like gasoline in the '40s and '50s.

I never heard that one in all the time I have worked on cars including all the years I did it for a living. The only time there is warm air at the air cleaner is when the heat tube valve is letting heat in thought the tube that goes to the exhaust manifold but as soon as the temp is up to normal that closes so only cool air goes though the air cleaner.
Ford did that for years on their V8 engines using an aluminum plate with passages for what ever setup they were needing vacuum for.
