Hood Clearance Valiant
My '72 Valiant (same hood as yours, I think) has a 360 Magnum with a Crosswind intake, which is a close copy of an Edelbrock Air Gap, and it's supercharged with a fairly tall carb bonnet (see photo) on top of the carburetor. The hood closes nicely with no scoop, bulge, or anything. I think that bonnet is about 3" tall.
Lots of vertical clearance without a scoop with these hoods, apparently.
I don't think you'll have a problem unless you put a really tall air cleaner on there, or lots of spacers under the carb.
You might consider asking Schumacher if those adapter mounts place the engine in stock location, vertically. They MIGHT be taller, but I seriosly doubt it, since that would disturb drivetrain geometry. Nah.... that's not gonna happen... I think you're gonna be okay with this, no scoop needed.
