Default QuickTime Bellhousing boot opening

Has anyone installed a QuickTime RM-6022 bellhousing? I am concerned about the shape of the opening for the clutch arm boot. As you know, the OE “621” housing has a rectangular shape but the QuickTime appears to be trapezoidal. I don’t want to run without a boot.

Looking at the Holley site they show no boots for QuickTime only Lakewood.
See the discussions below seems to be a common question for quite some time.

Most people that have these items have heat as an enemy, me included. I ran a 700r4 without a dust cover and fan type blades between the flex and TC. Now my Lakewood and tko600 is also all open. I'm not sure how much water spray if any can actually get up to the clutch fork area

I run that bell housing. Haven't had any issues related to that hole being bootless.

Using a QT bellhousing to run a T-56 Magnum behind a big block. 20k+ miles with no boot and no problems.

I have that QT bellhousing and wanted to run a boot. I just took some sheet metal, stuck it in the bellhousing and cut a hole in it for a stock boot. Trying and failing to remember how I attached the sheet metal. Maybe a few screws, it's been a long time.

On my car I prefer to run without a boot , heat is a clutches enemy. But I run my car hard.
