I'd also remove the online filter, run a new hose and install a sediment bowl, if it doesn't have one. If it has a sediment bowl with a screen, you don't need the filter anyway.

I was in the local CC dealer to buy a gasket or something for the sediment bowl when the older gent behind the counter suggested the fuel components that I'm running: new rubber hose, an inline 90-degree shutoff valve, an inline fuel filter (conical in shape), spring clamps, and various barbs for adapting to the tank & carb. Lyle said this was an improvement over the stock hard line/glass bowl setup, that that's what he runs on his old CC's. I've heard from several people he knows his stuff so I took his word for it, but I'll reinstall the old parts if that'll help.
As for engine removal, at this very moment I can think of few things I want to do less. Maybe that'll change, probably will, but I have zero interest in it right now. I've had old Fiats that gave me less trouble than this thing.
Thank you very much for the help.
