Ls1 airlid conversion

I'm interested in doing somethin like this "tastefully" I'm not the type of person who want's a hack job. I would prefer to leave my radiator support as is if possible. I have the vfn old school style cowl hood. Does anyone know if clearance would be an issue? I've heard that roadtrip120 did a great job with this but I couldn't find any right up, maybe there isn't one. Whatever you guys can offer would be great.What should I try to rob from an ls1 car if anything? Thanks.

look in my f-quick

you need a cowl hood like mine, not VFNs, and either an ultra Z hood or if you mind cutting it a little a harwood.
