71 Chevelle, Factory Ac Bb Car. Will Tall Bb 454 Valve Cover On Passenger Side Interfere With The Ac Box. Body Is Currently Off The Chassis So I Have No Way To Check This Out

If So, Can Box Be Slightly Modified So Valve Cover Can Be Removed If Necessary ?

I'm Sure Many Others Have Had To Deal With This If In Fact There Is An Interfernce Problem.

Thanks,

Not positive about the right side, But the left side you will not use the factory rear brkt. that bolts to the intake, for the rear support for the A/C Compressor. How much taller than stock valvecovers. I can measure the distance on my 71 B.B. with stock V. Covers. This will give you a clue if it will hit the evaporator box.

This all depends on the tall valve covers I am using a set of steal cromed valve covers that clear But i just baught a set of procomp aluminum that look awsome but they do not clear nor do they clear the break booster....so do your homework.....
