With some engines, there is absolutely no way of removing the drivers side valve cover with the brake booster in the way. (Even a stock big block with short valve covers.)
My new engine is a tall deck big block, with aftermarket heads, (taller than factory) and stud girdle, which required valve cover spacers on each side, even with tall valve covers.
Even with the hydroboost, the fittings coming out of the hydroboost, which are facing the valve cover, are only 1/4” or so away from each other.
