Clearance Problems with accessories and Pro Topline Cylinder Heads

Does anyone know about interference problems between 180cc cast iron pro topline heads and the stock serpentine setup (92 camaro L98). Such as alternator, ac compressor, etc. I have heard that there are issues with bolt holes missing or not aligning with brackets and clearance problems between the alternator and valve covers. I would like to use these heads but do not want to have to get to get an aftermarket (March) setup.

I heard that on one of the accessory brackets you have to use only 4 bolts instead of five. Other than that I don't know. I have a Vbelt setup.

I know the pro heads have a thicker deck, so they stick up and out more. IE my hedman headers slid right in and out with stock heads, with the pros I had to jack the drivers side up a tad.
