Of course it's not the only way. It looks like a good way, though, that takes care of the geometry issues that most people don't consider.

Once again, the "cheap and easy" computer control-to-carb turns out to be not so cheap...

You can do it any way you want, as long as the geometry is correct when you're finished.
