RS2 intake manifold fitting on a 3B (7A)

[auditude at cox.net]

I just read here that that RS2 intake manifold doesn't bolt up to the 3B motor, due to the presence of the distributor.  This is the first time I've comes across this information.  I would like to build a 20vt with a 7A head/distributor and RS2 intake manifold, and this turns out to be an issue.

Can anyone tell me more information on this, such as what interferes on the distributor?  Is it the whole thing, or just the cap?  Would I be able to use the base and hall sensor portion of the distributor with the RS2, as long as I had direction ignition with individual coils?

Also, it says the AAN valve cover won't work with the RS2 intake either.  I was planning on using the 7A valve cover, but don't know if that will work.

Perhaps I will have to use a 3B intake in order to get this to work.

If anyone has any specifics on this, please let me know.
