Ummm... not only is it easier to ditch the snips and go with gasket material, it's much easier. Cut a gasket the size of the valve and install it between the valve and TB. IT blocks off the passages and problem solved. Just make sure the valve and TB are dry (no coolant left). A cereal box works well if you can't find gasket material.
The sheet metal will get deformed with the snips, it might be tough to get it to seal even with RTV. I would suggest a "real" plate if you want to plate it off.
