these carburetor's are AS BASIC AS IT GET'S ,,,,,,that insurance phrase come's to mind ,, A CAVE MAN COULD DO IT !!!!!!!!!!
all it take's is some good quality cleaner/degreaser and a $15 kit from napa ! THATS IT !
as far as you saying that your whole carb is gone those are on ebay all the time ,,,,,,
I'm sure that plenty of guy's on here have some to sell they used that same carburetor on 283's 307's 327's FOR YEAR'S !

1) i don't know if you have Advance or Autozone in SC, but i got a reman 2GC from Champion for about $150 that works ok so far.
2) As pointed out above, i just got a 2GC from ebay for $5.50. It may need a rebuild, but i got mainly for learning purposes. But even so, a rebuild is not that difficult on these carbs. These guys can walk you thru it step-by-step (while i watch.) i think the haynes rochester book also can walk your thru it.
3) Speaking of holley, they have reman units of the 2GC available for about $215 with no core charge at Summit. If i had known about these, i would have bought one instead of at the parts store.
So, that's my opinion and the way i did was to just get a reman; i didn't rebuild mine at the time because the actual airhorn got bent in a garage accident.
But by staying with rochester, this way you don't have to fiddle with the choke, not that manual chokes are bad.
