Edlebrock 600 carb swap onto stock 12a?

One of my buddies is offering to sell me his edlebrock 600 carb. My first question is if anyone has run this carb, if so is it a good swap? I was thinking about coupling it with a Racing beat street-able exhaust manifold. Any idea what power that would be making? Also I was wondering if i could pair it up with the Nikki intake manifold or if i need to buy an entirely new intake manifold. If i do this swap what about all of the vacuum lines? What is absolutely essential to the vacuum system. I do not need any emissions or ac related items so what is the bare minimum that needs to work? Thank you in advance for all of your help!

First off a 600 CFM carbie will be too big and will probably never run right.

You will need a RB holley manifold to make this work or fab up something on your own.

Look in the faq section for rats nest removal. Thats the vacuum lines, air pump etc.
