Default Non Ram Air hood w/ Ram Air box?

Can this combination be done with the hood still lining up properly? I know the R/A box is taller but I'm not sure of the clearance of the non R/A hood. I am hoping to replace the lousy aftermarket hood the car came with with a stock hood untill I can get the Raptor hood I really want since they can be had for dirt cheap.

Default Hood

I had a 97ws6 and I sold the factory ram air hood to a buddy that had a trans am , I used his stock hood for a while until I got my suncoast hood and the only way the hood would shut i had to take off the upper air box just leaving the filter exposed

That would definatly be a problem since the lid catches the air from the filter to go into the TB.

I have a very bad mock of the ws6 R/A hood that is warped in several places. It didn't sit right with the stock (non-R/A) box.

Forgive me for the ignorant question, but are you guys saying that a WS6 (Taller) Lower Air Box WILL FIT under a Raptor Hood? I'm in the process of installing my new Raptor Hood and would like to know if this ungrade is possible for the future. Thanks.

Yes, the taller ws6 lower airbox fits with the Raptor hood.
