I feel like an idiot asking this, but does anyone know of a good way to remove these gaskets? I let them soak in degreaser for 48 hours, but they’re still not coming off.

Ahhhhh . …
You DO NOT do this unless you have a outside the box Issue
Do you know why this is a rule of thumb Padawn ?
You should just buy that whole plate new.
Old vs new.

Well, no wonder they weren't budging when I tried to remove them. . . . The FSM leaves a lot to the imagination for this. I think I am finally starting to see what's going on. I don't actually need an additional gasket between the insulator and the upper plenum because the plate has the only gasket I'll need there, right? I purchased the gasket below thinking I needed to put that between the upper plenum and the plate. Also, I do not need an additional gasket between the plate and the carb because, once again, the gasket is already on the plate, right?

I reached out to someone yesterday to try to source a used one and the person responded today saying that I actually need to put gaskets between the plate and the plenum and the plate and the carb. Am I missing something? I want to get this right the first time so I don't screw anything else up. . . .
Just spend the $100? Or so and get the brand new one. Don’t waste your time with a used one and some gasket hack

Yeah, that’s what I’m going to do. I just wanted to make sure I didn’t misinterpret anything about the gaskets. Thanks for clarifying.

You've damaged the surface by trying to scrape off the bonded gasket. If you use an aftermarket gasket and RTV, the RTV will dissolve and you'll get a vacuum leak. If you use gaskets and NO RTV you'll get a vacuum leak. If you sand off the old gaskets and the surface isn't perfectly flat, you'll get a vacuum leak ....
Buy a new or used that hasn't been buggered and save yourself the hassle of taking the thing apart again.
