Default Double roller chain with crank position sensor

Just wondering if the reluctor wheel will clear a double roller chain. Im getting ready to purchase a chain and CSR ewp. Also how close do these waterpumps come to the fans in the f body cars.

It's not that difficult to trim up the fan shroud if it doesn't fit. I used a pair of tin snips.

The CSR is a slim pump so no trimming of the fans is needed. Only the Meziere needs trimming of the fan shroud.

Yea it seams that the thicker sprocket would throw the spacing off on the reluctor wheel and the crank hub. I havent actually look at a LT1 chain lately to have an idea how far off it would be, but if it wasnt to far off i figured i would trim the reluctor to make it fit. Im sure if it were that simple someone up here would have tried it though.
