The air cleaner interference with the firewall mounted booster is common with the I6 engines. GM installed offset air cleaners on the trucks with power brakes and the I6 engines. Let me know if you would like any other info.

The air cleaner is one I found at a junk yard many many years ago.......it fit so it got used. I'm not married to it
The oil filter moves....and I suspect it's been moved to accommodate the hydroboost brake deal. Probably at the factory. However at this point I don't know that I want to change everything just to add on discs when the drums work pretty good. Perhaps when the current set up goes south.
Thanks for all the answers..........it's helped.
