Carb Electronics

I searched, and couldn't find what I need, sorry.

I'm pulling the motor from my 7 saturday to start a rebuild, and I'll be rebuilding the carb as well. I've tried downloading the wiring diagram a few times; the foxed.ca site hates me, apparently. Or maybe it's my computer, I'm not sure(my bets on the computer).

Pretty much, I just want to know if any of the electrical stuff hooked up to the carb is actually necessary. Car's been stripped of emissions, and I'm trying to clean things up in the engine bay while the engine's out. Rat's nest was pulled out before I got the car, and the only thing left hooked up is the white connector, and then all the connectors on the passenger side of the car as well. Is this necessary, or just random extra stuff?

The only thing that's really necessary is the fuel bowl vent solenoid on the engine side of the carb. Aside from that the rest can go. I'm running a Sterling carb and there are absolutely no electrical wires attached to it.

Alright thanks; should make things a lot easier. Hopefully I won't screw up when rebuilding, as I'm going to be (mostly) stripping the carb while I'm at it.
