Started with etching primer followed by some duplicolor high heat caliper paint. I'm happy with the results. Now I have figure out how to make some room for it because it hits the air cleaner!

Nice. Looks good.

Is that one of those toilet paper oil filters on the right inner fender?

Yes it is. Frantz oil filter. It works, but I had a hard time finding the replacement gasket.

I hate to say it since you already spent $$$ and time, but it's easier to use a 3/4T booster since it sits slightly closer to the firewall. However, your air cleaner would still hit it too. Only thing you can do is replace your air cleaner with a smaller aftermarket one. Good luck finding one that'll fit on a 1bbl carb hole. As a last resort you could cut up a jy air cleaner to a smaller size and buy an appropriate sized air cleaner. I've done that before when I had my L6.

Oh, any chance you could post detailed pics of your AC compressor brackets and compressor?

I actually got this set up from a member for $100 never used! I bought a little cheapo air cleaner.

No A/C, just a big smog pump.
