Bringing this one back from the dead. This thread has lots of great info.

With the stock R12 A/C dying in my 77, I'm getting very serious about swapping to the 96-04 serpentine setup and delphi compressor mention earlier in this thread. My main motivation for moving to this setup is hopes of: Easy valve cover access with the ability to run tall valve covers and remove them easily and of course the improved efficiency of the delphi compressor.

Does the A/C compressor or alternator interfere with the valve covers at all ? I want to be able to run tall valve covers and have easy access to them if I need to adjust the rockers.
