I think I had the pressed in version but it is ugly.  This one was clean.  I think I had a large hole that was not tapped also.

This stuff is all extra.  Yours for the taking.  Give me an address and I'll get them coming your way.

There are a different front blocks for 600s IMHO.  Some have the pressed in pot, others threaded.  As there are a bunch of "600" vacuum secondary Holleys in various List numbers.

I only use the nylon washers and haven't had a single issue with them.   I personally like the blue ones but will make due with the white ones.

I purchase the old style paper bowl screws 250 at a time, they aren't terribly expensive that way.  Same with the old style fuel inlet seals.  If you needed just a few I'd be happy to help.  Same with VS lids, etc.

The reusable nylon stuff seems to work well on newer carbs but many times they make for a weep on the older stuff.

If the metering block doesn't have a ported vac spot, you can drill a feed hole in the metering block face.  1/4-28 is the size to tap to for standard fittings.  I would make sure you are using a primary block however before doing that.  Not the end of the world, but using a secondary block with a raised angle channel can cause some issues on the primary side.

Having been messing with carbs for 45 years, I just have a good pile of parts left over from various kits.   I'll buy a $40 kit just for a fresh gasket and a couple of seats assemblies.  It's a wash on cost, or cheaper.  A single 110 Viton needle and seat $18.49 at the Advance Auto around the corner from work.  So that's $36.98 for both ends.  The whole renew kit for a 4150 DP carb is $38.40 my cost at the Summit Pro Shop.
