Does the Superram plenium clear the wiper motor?

I have a 1988 Firebird that I will be putting a Superram on and the plenium to wiper motor clearance looks like it is going to be a problem. Does anyone know if the wiper motor will clear the plenium?

Thanks for the help.

My SR is VERY tight up against the wiper motor. Any tighter and I'd have to remove the motor. I have poly motor mounts though too.

On my 89 Camaro: I had to remove the rubber motor mounts on the wiper motor. I had also gotten new motor mounts for the block from the parts store and I still had to cut into the flat 5 or 6 pin connector that plugs in the motor.

My SR is up against the wiper motor, also, but barely. I ground a bit off of the back corner of the plenum.

I had to do the same thing, funny the plenum is about .780 thick back there so I used a die grinder and took ground off about .400 .
