No problem. For right now, if you see any fuel dribbling out of the boosters while either idling, or when you shut the engine off, set the floats down a little extra lower for that side -- we can always fine-tune them at a later date. Then blow out your air bleeds, all eight of them, with carb cleaner and chase it with a blast of air from your compressor, say around 40psi or so. Have both idle mixture screws backed out about one and a quarter turns from seated, and then give us a driving report. Crap in the air bleeds is the absolute #1, no doubt about it, happens every day, cause of poor off-idle and low speed performance on your Holley.
