If you want to hook it up, I believe that you can change the "pot" that the bimetal coil sits inside of - the hookup for the tube is on the opposite side between the two carburetors; front on one, rear on the other.
iirc both setups require the other tube be connected to a line at the rear of the carb.
The new carb already has an electric choke. The old one did too. Those air tubes were just there for decoration on the old carb. They are just sitting there in the picture because I hadn’t figured out what I was going to do with them yet. After finding the carb hanging up I pretty much turned my attention to that.
