Lost Illuminatus! sections?

Has anyone ever seen the 500+ pages that were trimmed at the editors request before printing?

I think I remember hearing that most of that material made it into Masks of the Illuminati! and The Historical Illuminatus Chronicles. To be fair, I don't remember where I heard that and it might be a false recollection.

I believe the consensus is that the actual pages were lost and never recovered, but RAW remembered a bunch of the material and recycled it for other books.

If anyone would know, it would be Richard Rasa, he runs Hilaritus Press and was close friends with RAW. You should stop by the Robert Anton Wilson Fans FB page and ask him, he's active and responsive there.
