just answering some of my own questions.
The tin cover under the intake manifold under the carb area is said to be an oil splash shield "The factory shield is used to keep your oil from frying on the bottom of the intake where the exhaust crossover goes through." So I guess that makes sense. That would assumme the crossover is still in effect. I see that some gaskets have that center port blocked OFF with a metal plate so maybe that tin cover is not always needed now? I guess it depends on the setup, the block, heads and intake in use and all.
