Mike asks:
"Could there be any benefit from cutting off the balance tube , then
filling and flowing each half of the intake manifold ?"

Not a good idea. If anything, modify the manifold to clear the exhaust.
Multi-carb arrangements without a balance tube will run rough due to slight
mismatches between the cylinders served by each carb, as well as the slight
variations between the carbs themselves.
