I'd probably setup the purge for either full-time or use the stock temp
controlled purge valve seen on 2.8 S-trucks.   In playing with purge
(730/$8D) I've found that there's no problem bringing it in at lower temps
(80deg F), just requires some tweaking in the VE tables to account for the
added fuel reguardless of temp purge is enabled at.

Leave the purge out initially, you'll have enough other variables to tend
to.
