For those with Holley swap kit, how close is the rear coil to the AC box?

I would prefer someone who swapped a cutlass, but would like to hear experiences with other models as well. I've heard of the rear coilpack needing to be relocated. Why is this? Is the wire connection too close to the AC box? Is the coil bracket too close to the AC box? I may be moving the engine slightly forward for another issue but wondering if moving it forward would also help with coil clearance there.

I am interested in this also.

I downloaded a pic of a 6.0 LS engine in a 85 Cutlass and see that the coilpaks are not relocated.

I actually just ended up going with the dirty dingo mounts and gforce gen 2 crossmember & adjustable trans mount. Everything else is Holley (accessory drive, manifolds, exhaust, etc.) and is very close alignment wise. I like the adjustability to move the engine forward a little. Plus the gforce gen 2 crossmember is a way better design than the Hooker crossmember.
