IMHO, I read the rules a little different than you do. I don't think they say you are matching the engine and maniford to the gasket. You are matching the two engine parts. Therefore, you would have to determine where the two surfaces don't match up and remove only the material necessary for each to mirror the other. This may mean that you remove material on one side of a port on the manifold and on the other side of the same port on engine block. I don't think it just allowes you to hog out the ports on both sides to equal the size of the gasket. You could however enlarge the gasket to fit the ports since gasket's are free.
