If you refer to:

 http://www.bacomatic.org/gallery/album17/A331_vs_Torker_02

you'll see the bottom view of a Torker (on the left) and the
A331 high port version of the same intake.  Note the Torker
has a cast in passage underneath the carb to provide heat.
This passage gets very hot.  The pan protects the oil from
splashing on the hot exhaust crossover port and turning to
ash.  Retain the turkey pan unless the carb heat ports are
blocked or the intake does not have the cross-over passage.
