Edelbrock heads with OEM manifolds

Does anyone have any experience with using OEM cast iron manifolds with edelbrock aluminum heads? Apparently, according to edelbrock installation manual the 2863553 (68-70) drivers side manifold will not work. Will the 71-73 year drivers side work? Also would the exit port be the same size on a 71-73 vs the 68-70?

So they hit on the left with 66 manifold’s. I ground a bit off the head corner and bought a header flange to space it out 3/8”. Toth heads and ‘73 manifolds same story but Bruce knew where the water jackets were in his heads and I was able to take enough off the head to install the ‘73 OEM manifold.
