454 big block into my 88 Camaro.

Just a quick question for everyone.. I know i can get the 454 in and i know almost everthing that needs to be done.. I need to know if the steering, air-conditioning, or the shock towers are gonna be in the way?? if so, any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I don't know about the air, but everything else will clear just fine. I'm sure you could make some brackets for it.

A big block with standard valve covers will clear the air conditioning. Tall valve covers will not clear.
