The valley cover? Here's the problem. Have a car with the edelbrock E-Force supercharger that comes with an Edelbrock Valley cover so when I did the vvt/dod delete I couldn't use the LS3 cover (clearance issue with supercharger) I do know the edelbrock plate deletes dod. Not sure on vvt. After the cam swap and vvt delete the car has maybe 5 lbs of oil pressure at idle.
Thanks for the replies! Got it figured out. The way Edelbrock "deletes" the dod doesn't plug the dod lifter oil holes. Ordered the new cover from Edelbrock. $241 for just a valley cover.
GD!! That's a little pricey. Probably one of the factory LS2/non-DOD plates would fit but at this point I would just get the "right" thing and be done with it.
A real shame that Edelbrock doesn't have that printed in BIG BOLD letters all over their information. Imagine someone that wasn't watching the oil pressure closely and went and romped on it down the street with only 5psi oil pressure. That would be a fun call to tech support.
Since I am oddly picture-rich on the subject I'll show this...LS2 cover has the block-offs even though the LS2 never had DOD. Still has the oil pressure sensor "tower" but that's easily chopped and plugged if that happens to be the interference point. But sound slike you are on the right path. Good luck!
Ah. For FAST intakes, you use low-profile bolts but if they need to be countersunk to blower clearance, sounds like you are getting what you need. That would be a good bit of modification for the stock covers.

Where does VVT gets its oil supply?
