Does a hole cut in the hood to clear a 14" round air cleaner on top of a 670 CFM Holley count?

I did, ran a tube to passenger fender. Made a plate to cover the factory hole. The mass air meter and filter were in the fender, check my photobucket. I may still have a couple of the cover plates left over.

not directly, but you can see on the passenger side, I mounted them on the forward part of the kmember right next to where the motor mount bolt goes through, 4 on each side
