In the photo it looks like a bundle of wires is resting on the alt. pully.

I see you have it planned, but just for discussion sake, since it's souly
a racecar, maybe cut a hole in stock hood, and let air filter sit in 135 MPH
wind. Same as cold ram air, and avoid all the plumbing over the engine.

It's needed. The carb won't clear the hood with the single-plane manifold
and 1" spacer...not to mention the cold air intake:
Alla that stuff brings the top of the air cleaner about 3" above the
normal hood line. The hood has a 4 3/4" raised section. I figgered 6" was
overkill. :)

Is the raised hood a necessity, or for looks?

I could have been that, but it wouldn't restart until it had cooled off.
The O/P at idle is around 10 psi and runs at 40 (when hot) at around 2500
rpm. It's about what I'd expect in a motor with that many miles on it.
Last nite I was gonna install the glass hood on the race car, but decided
I'd looked at the peeling paint on the nose for long enough. I scraped,
sanded and cleaned, then gave it a quick shot of black:
The lens kinda distorts it a bit, but it looks like what it is: a
rattle-can job that covers the cracked/peeled areas. "Better'n it wuz." ;)
I'll paint the underside of the hood silver and the top flat black for the
time being.
