There have been threads in the past about this. Most pump guys do not want the guts but some do. I always tell myself that I want to leave the guts in an earlier or rare pump but always end up guting them. They are just too heavy with them and you have a double. If I owned it I would gut it. Another reason I like the guts out is I use the ones that open easily to store things including spare parts. I do have two that I never got around to gutting. One is a 36B clockface that still runs and has good suction but will end up getting gutted unless I sell it before I get to it.
