I am not aware of one.
When I installed Mickey Thompsom aluminum valve covers with silicone gaskets on a coach I used a Dremel (small grinding tool) on the old bracket to achieve clearance.

The valve covers I want is 4" high, my engine has been taken completely apart so I can check if it is possible or enough just to grind the bracket.
I could of course use a different A/C compressor, but I have a new A6 on the shelf that I want to use.

How high are the M/T covers ?

I don't know the height of the M/T valve covers. I used them to achieve clearance for Harland Sharp roller rockers on Edelbrock heads. I have since sold that coach.
