Default 350HO swap into 68 (Vortec ?'s)

So I have decided to go the 350 ho route for my 68, MT, small block car with Hooker sidepipes. This is intended to be a fun driver and not a drag shark. No AC or power steering....I know hood clearance will be a problem. My initial problems/questions are:
1) Intake - Edelbrock performer? still looks pretty tall
2) Carb - the little Holley as on ho deluxe would be OK, driver only, simple
3) distributer - something basic, again simple
4) starter - a new one
I would not mind an odd shape air cleaner assembly for hood clearance sake. Thanks for any suggestions!

You should be fine, I am putting the same intake in my 72 sb next month and do not forsee any clearance probs. BTW what type of wheels are those, they look great.

I sent Holley an e-mail a couple of days ago, asking them how high that air cleaner stuck up above the air horn, but I have not heard from them yet.
