Default 1968 hood clearance

I have a 68 Tempest with gto hood and blocked scoops. My induction is such that the air cleaner lid is even with the cowl. The car has no front clip on it. Can anyone tell me if im likely to have issues?

Which intake, carb, air cleaner and carb spacer if any?

Knowing all of this would be extremely helpful.

It's an engine swap. Ls with a carb. The point is if my air cleaner lid is even with the cowl, will it clear?

Probably not.

I guess you’ll find out soon enough.
