Strut tower brace for driver side A/C cars

So I have a V-belt 350 with the A/C on the drivers side. I know Edelbrocks 3 point STB is for TBI/Carb cars with the A/C on the passenger side. I have removed my A/C compressor so I'm sure the Edelbrock will fit now. My question is, will the TPI STB's fit now too? The options I see as of now are the Edelbrock and I've been told MAC's will work too. Would be nice if the TPI ones were an option too. I'm sure there are people out there who have my set up with can give some insight. I plan on getting some spohn or J&M mounts before/with the brace as well.

Are you TBI or carb? If you are either, a TPI STB will run straight through the carb or throttle body.

I run a carb. So the deal is that the carb or TB is in the way. I thought it was a clearance issue with the A/C compressor and that accessory area on the engine. Guess I will probably go with an Edelbrock 3 point brace then.
