I was looking at the engine bay today, after reading this. I don't think that clearance with the firewall is really an issue (as witnessed by the D16 manifold). I believe the real problem is there is no room for the pulley.
Look at the setup on JR's web site - where the pulley is approximately located. Then look under our hood. If you look at the where the belts sit, than look straight back you will see the issue - there is a cross member in the way. I don't think that a SC will fit, period, due to the fact there is no place to line up the SC pulley - there is no clearance.

j/k
I don't get it people are always saying "search" and when people do and bring back old threads its like "dude let it die". I say search for a topic like this and let the other misc threads die.
