SOmeplace I've seen a conversion kit- has what looks like a cover with some bars across for the center bolts. Added advantage is it raises the cover so it'll clear roller rockers.

Do your AFR's have the duel pattern both Center and the 4 bolt pattern? My 180's do. My only problem was the raised rail made my Valve covers to tall.

yes they have the bolts around the edge
So should stock height valve covers work with AFRs or should I get some tall ones

The Rail is probably higher on Your Heads than stock just like mine. This dose to things it makes them harder to Leak and it raises the Stock height Valve Covers a bit to clear Valve gear. I'd guess a Stock Valve cover would work fine for you unless you have something out of ordinary.
