Default lt1 valve covers?

I am putting an LT1 together with corvette accessory drive, components.
Want to install a nice set of valve covers. Haven't installed alternator yet, but it looks like it would hit front of driver side valve cover.
Will any centerbolt cover fit? thanks, Jon

These will fit without modification, drivers side is notched to clear alternator available from Corvette Central, but they are pricey.
