No, just the TB, and if you're lucky, maybe not even that. If you post pictures we can have a better idea what to help with.

Holy Fauxhawk!
I ammend my offer to $900.
What straightneck is it, ZE? I have the K801 linkage, if it'll work.

Jus so we're clear, you ruined the pully that the throttle cable attatches to?

Until OP clarifies it sounds like just broke the end of the cable - lost the throttle cable barrel. If I have guessed correctly you only need to add a barrel stop to the throttle cable. You can get screw throttle cable barrels that are typically used to shorten throttle cables. Search web or try a few auto part stores.

I've never really looked at the interference before....

But you know that pully rotates, right?

I don't understand why or how you shaved it...

You shuold just be able to pop the pully off, its a single... 12mm? nut, with lockwashers. No need to remove IM or TB at all. Im pretty sure you can fit a crecent wrench over it.
