Scott;

I've done at least a half dozen carbs......First one was because I could only use a 2" air filter element and the top of the air cleaner was real close to the top of the carb.......

I have NO scientific proof,but when you look at one without the choke horn,you would think airflow would have to be improved.............there must be some merit to it,since Holley and all the major carb makers now offer carbs without a choke horn.........

If the carb is all together,I just use duct tape to tape up the venturi and everything else around,then cut off the horn about 1/4 to 1/2 inch with a hack saw and finish the job on a mill,be sure NOT to take off the center stud for your air filter rod,lucky for me,my cousin has a pretty well equiped machine shop at his home five minutes from my house and I can use the equipment anytime he is there,I'm getting pretty handy on the mill.........

If nothing else, it does make your carb look "tricked out",,,,,gets a lot of ohhhhs and ahhhhs at car shows...........
