removing valve covers

I just built this 5.0L 302 for a 1988 fuel injected pickup and I am sure I did not adjust a roller rocker right.I already have the motor in and can hear it. I was wondering if anyone has been able to remove the valve cover, on the passengers side without removing the upper intake. I am not sure if there is enough clearanceto slide the valve cover out. Please somedbody help me out.
