A/C and tall valve covers

I'm burning out on trying to figure this out tonight, hopefully ya'll have some suggestions. I am putting a 355 in my blazer that short valve covers will not work on due to the rockers. Currently I have stock A/C with all stock brackets. The rear manifold bracket is definitely not going to work but I'm also afraid the original style compressor is going to hit a tall valve cover. Am I wrong? Is there a different compressor I could use without changing the whole system? I don't mind a different compressor or brackets but I don't want to rebuild the whole system if don't have too. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

If you change the compressor and brackets, you will have to have new hoses made for the different style compressor

That's fine. I just don't want to replace the whole A/C system.
