K frame lowering blocks

has anyone dropped a k frame for hood clearance before??

Is one inch too much ? I'm thinking it shouldn't throw everything else off too much but I'm wondering if I should have gone 3/4 inch.

I want to avoid getting into the hood because a hood scoop or cut hood goes against the motif of the car.
