5.3 ls swap

does anyone know if you switch to carb instead of the efi do you have to worry about the upper rad hose hitting the throttle body? Because i know if you try to keep all the truck front accessories you have to somehow modify the upper rad hose from hitting the throttle bottle.

A carb swap uses an aftermarket intake manifold, sitting the carb on top traditional style.
