Depends on the brand of the brace. It will be a tighter fit with the efi manifold, that's for sure. And even worse if one uses a spacer plate.

The inlet will only hit it if your engine mounts are buggered whilst driving. The engine should not move that much in reality, so if it fits ok and clears whilst stationary (trial fitting) then it should be clear full-stop.
