Will Proform valve covers fit?

I'd like to replace my valve covers but haven't got a good feel for what will clear the passenger side at the alternator location. I've searched the databases but didn't find a clear answer.

These are the ones I was interested in:

Does anyone know if these will need clearancing for Comp Cams 1305 roller rockers?

Those are what I run but I have a '93. They look good and work fine, just leave the baffles out. You will have to clearance the alt. though. It's an easy job takes 20 minutes or so.

I have them too and you just need to grind down the back off the alt to fit. I have the polished ones and they look awesome under the hood! Trouble is they dont make ones with Pontiac on them.

Any chance you guys could post a picture of how much you needed to remove from your alternator and the fitment after it was installed?

I am running the Canton fabricated tall valve covers. This is one of my favorite appearance mods, but as this article states, was a necessity after I installed the 1.6 Pro-Mags.
