No problem using an aluminum manifold with closed cooling.

You can take your old manifold to any engine shop and they will chemically clean it for you, won't cost you much, if you use the alloy one make sure you are using a quality coolant and not just straight tap water and that it is compatible with your carb and heads and other accessory setup components.
