If MIKE'S CARBS has an H4000 ELECT CHOKE KIT, please pass it on.

You can block off the intake manifold heat passage with a specialty pair of intake gaskets and/or defeat the heat riser valve, or you can do as you mentioned, just cap screw the tube cross-over. There will be no more heat than when the tube was working.

If removing the choke heated air inlet, you need to cap off the choke housing fitting so as not to allow the egine to draw unfiltered air (vacuum leak).
