I recently purchased an Edelbrock 573 intake with three Holley 94s and linkage.  The carbs look good.  I am going to rebuild them so I know what I have.  I have been looking on the Internet and viewed all of Charlie Price's Vintage Speed videos.  Great information. This setup is going into a 1955 Thunderbird with a new .060 over 292 motor, G heads, 1957 distributor, Isky cam and manual O/D transmission. I have a number of questions.

There seems to be differing opinions on how to set this up.  Some people say I should remove the power valves and disable the idle circuit on the end carbs.  Others say I should run them as they are and use a synchronizer gauge to adjust them. Also, what is the correct procedure for adjusting multi carb setups?  Any input on jet or power valve sizes?   Thanks for your help!
