Default Carb and intake must match?

After talking with my father about what sort of things I want to put on the car, I told him I was going to get an Edelbrock performer rpm intake, to which he responded, "...with a carb to match?". My father doesn't have a large amount of mechanical knowledge regarding cars but it is his belief that the intake is tailored to the general type of carb you have. Since I was talking about moving from the two barrel stock to a holley four barrel, he said if I buy an intake, it might fit only the two barrel, or only the four barrel. This is all asuming that there is not an inbetween piece that I am completely oblivious to, or something of the like. I'd like to know, does the intake you have need to match the carb your using as far as how things fit together and such? My guess was that since both items I intend on purchasing a compatable with the year of my car, that they would be compatable with each other, but I really don't know. Thanks in advance.
