If keeping the planes separated did not matter, there would be no reason to run the separator on the manifold all the way up to the carb base. Use the split gasket (#2) or the four-holer (#3).

Or you can buy a heat shield for your carb. I had to trim a little off the front due to the thermostat housing but here on the coast when it gets hot it helps a lot.
