Dan,
An easy way to check is get some silly putty and make small mounds about 1/2" thick, that you place on the air cleaner where you think there will be interference. Lower the hood till almost closed, then check. If ok, keep going till the hood is closed and latched.
Very likely some of the silly putty mounds will be squished just a bit, and you can measure the thickness to give you an idea of how much clearance you actually have. If it's ok, repeat the test with the motor on and blip the throttle to get the motor to torque over a bit, remeasure the silly putty.
I am sure Bob can provide a number, but I would suspect one would want at least 1/4" to 3/8" minimum clearance.
