Hi, Do any of you guys know if the factory big block A/C compressor bracket will work with tall valve covers? I'm thinking it won't but would love to see some pic's or hear some feedback. Thanks for the help J.

I believe the rear adjustment will hit the valve cover unless you do some modification on the manifold bracket.

This is a 66 Impala with a big block and there is not much room between the stock cover and the adjustment arm, (the brackets are very similar to the truck brackets).
