Default 5.3 in a 69 camaro, will the alt clear a cowl hood?

Will the 5.3 alt. location clear a cowl hood on a 69 camaro? I have read many changing it to the F-body brackets, but it looks like it will be close with the 5.3. What is everyone else's experience?

Haven't tried it, but we have a 5.3L in the Suburban, so I can take a look at how high it is compared to the front of the block and go look at the Camaro and see how tight it looks if you want.

5.3's accessories should clear the cowl hood.
