Default Valve Cover Clearance issues ?

Hey guys , does anyone have a 69 GP with tall valve covers and AC ? I just got some new valve Covers for a new build and I don't think they are going to work . These are custom made Alum. Tall ones for Roller Rockers . I really would like to keep my AC ,any ideas ?

I just spaced up my AC brackets at the intake and it was enough to clear my finned aluminum covers on my TA. I don't know if your brackets are similar.

X2, part of the process when going with aftermarket parts and working out the issues one develops. It's doable.

Default Valve cover clearance !

Thanks for the reply guys, maybe I just wasn't looking at it correctly . If there is a way to do it I'll usually figure it out ! The bracket I was concerned about comes off the intake roughly midways back and is only a 1/4" at best off the factory valve cover .
