I think so.  I'm working from memory here--car's at my folks' house--but the 4" 
tube with adapter left us very little 
room (in fact, we had to remove one of the support brackets in order for the 
tube to fit past the radiator).  If you use 
the flexible 'scat' tubing without an adapter you should have room, even with 
the carb spacer.

How did you fit up your air filter?  We just clamped ours to the rigid tube 
with the standard hose clamp.  We fabbed a 
little support bracket that bolts to the top of the steering box to suspend the 
tube/filter.
