What's required to install an ITG filter on a 32/36?

The current carb setup in my car is a manual choke Weber 32/36 breathing through the stock air cleaner that somebody widened with tin snips. While this is a good setup for maintaining originality it's a little slapdash overall and probably not the best. I really like the look of the ITG air filter as employed in @c.d.iesel's motor. Obviously to swap over to this I'll need the carb and the baseplate but is there anything else, like the crankcase breather, that will have to be modified? ETA: It looks like for the breather I'll just need a short little filter instead of the tube that runs into the bottom of the current air cleaner. A lot of the ITG 32/36 baseplates on eBay say they don't accommodate a manual choke, are there any that do? Also, I've got foam on the inside of my hood as noise dampener. The top of the present air cleaner touches the foam, which is no problem, but this new air cleaner will also touch the foam. Do you think it would be prudent to trim the foam back so as not to restrict downward airflow? I assume the ITG mostly breathes through the top.

I am considering this same setup and have the same questions. ?

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
