is the vehicle a EFI vehicle? or are you swapping it into an old ride?
the only problems I see you having, is that the manifold is designed to be "dry" the stock manifold has a large open plenum, with runners that wrap up and around the intake. think dual carb, cross ram intake runner length, but wrapped up into a barrel shape. I don't know that atomized fuel will flow through that very well.
aside from that, if it's a computer controlled vehicle, it won't like that the fuel injectors don't respond anymore (unless you leave them installed and hooked up so the computer can see them "working") and the computer won't be happy that it can't see the MAP, TPS, IAC.

exactly!
If you did this, get a new manifold.
if you're set on using a 2bbl carb, you could pick up an M1 intake, uses the same throttle body as the stock intake, but it's a single plane, down flowing intake that would probably do better flowing "wet" air.
but, if you're going to get a new intake, you might as well get a carb intake without the injector bungs in them. I think most of them are 4bbl patterns, but I've got a 2bbl to 4bbl adapter that gives you the original TB bolt pattern

time is always worth something, but I laugh whenever I hear someone say this trying to discourage someone from trying something.
Hobby time is Hobby time, and last I checked, NONE of us get paid for our "play time" I've done things the hard way before, simply because my wallet was empty, but I had "play time" available. 
There's a difference between doing something yourself, where the result you are capable of is perfectly safe, sound and functional versus doing something yourself where the result is a piece of crap that won't work and you will just have to end up throwing in the garbage.
You know what would work well on top of that magnum intake? A propane mixer, since the intake would still only be flowing gasses.
