Valve cover-Alt and A/C compressor clearance issues

I'm building up my engine(91 L98 TPI) with Edelbrock 60859(center bolt) heads with Crane 1.6 narrow gold racing rockers and still want to use the 88-92 serpentine setup.

I'm pretty sure stock height valve covers won't work with the rockers.

If I go to a taller valve covers will I have clearance problems with the Alt., A/C compressor etc.?

Re: Valve cover-Alt and A/C compressor clearance issues

I went with the tall Edelcrap covers and have no issues with the ....

Scratch that.
I have no AC.
All I had to do to the Alt was to cut the power screw that goes to the battery a little bit.
