Don't know if this will help ya'.
Engine offset is 1-1/4" to passenger side per TTI.

My 440 six pack air cleaner in my '69 Barracuda does not interfere with the closing of the hood. The front carb is approximately 2-7/8" below the hood surface.

I think I'd be a little conservative since it's easier to make small hole into a larger hole.
