My 86 TA with 305, Performer RPM (that wasnt machined right... thank you Edelcrock), Carter carb, and drop base 14" diameter air cleaner fit under the hood just fine. Had about 3/4" clearance in the front of the air cleaner lid IIRC. The back had way more than that.

For some reason, I think the Camaros have less clearance under the hood for a carbed setup than the Firebirds do.
