Default Hydrobooster with tall valve

I purchase a hydrobooster from POL to my - 69 GTO.
Now, I would like to know is here anyone who has a tall valve covers with stud girdles and hydrobooster installed?
I would like to hear some thoughts does the booster interfere with valve adjust how badly or are there any problems with removing the valve covers??
Pictures would be a great help.
Thanks for upfront.

I had taller valve covers on my new build, until I tried to install them and realized I had a clearance issue with the brake booster. Luckily for me I could use stock profile valve covers so that’s what I did.

I don't have a vacuum assisted booster, I've only drum brake master cylinder with disc brakes(removed residual valve in the master cylinder).
Now, I am thinking is the hydrobooster core in my way, when I'm checking the valve lash, can I even get the valve covers off if I install the hydrobooster, because I got the girdle in in?

Here's my setup. I got my hydro unit flipped 180 because I wanted the lines low. Might be tight if not flipped. I have no troubles with the valve cover, valve adj is doable also.70 GTO by the way.
