I bought a weird posable adjustment tool a while ago that had the 'DD' tip for that kind of screw so i just left them. But it was cast, around plug, plug over needle. If the plug is cut out entirely youre left with the indented area and holes for the adjustment screws. Easy access without emmission stuff in your way while the carb is on even right up front when all is said and done. ;)

I have a tool by Snap-On for that specific idle mixture screw. Part number S6139. Around $13.00, but cheaper on eBay. :)
Here is one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/SNAP-ON-TOOLS-1-4-Drive-Double-D-Carburator-Socket-S6139-/182059913196?hash=item2a639dcfec:g:1E4AAOSwvFZW7XzI&item=182059913196&vxp=mtr

MR pontiac, i take them plugs out in a different way then most people . i weld a 3/8 washer to the plug with a little mig welder, then i tack a nut to the washer and spin them out. this leaves the carb looking perfect, some people are fussy.this method also works the best for any broken off bolt that is flush with the surface or a little down in the hole .ive used it all the way up to 2 inch bolts . hth

I do the exact same thing, looks better than any other method.
