big block fit factory A/C car?

The valve covers on my 350 are only about 1.5-2" away from the A/C components that are mounted to the passenger firewall. Will I have to remove this to fit my 455 once I swap it?

The factory used notched valve covers to clear the a/c box and power brake booster. The regular valve covers will fit but it'll be tight. I have m/t valve covers on my 70 w/455 and the a/c box and booster.

There is about 1" or so of added deck height for a BBO.

455 will fit. You wont have to remove the A/C box or brake booster.
