Yes, you can machine it while it's on the truck as it doesn't take much to clear a 2.6 or 2.7 pulley. Nothing larger will require machining and sometimes even a 2.7 will clear w/o machining. The whole snout is pretty easy to remove though but you will loose the oil. Just put a towel underneath to catch the oil if you go that route. The SC oil you can get from most any Chevy dealer for cheap. btw, I'm pretty sure there is no gasket. GL

Why not just install a lower pulley? When i bought my blower it had a 2.65 pulley on it, the snout is machined. I removed it installed a stock pulley and installed a 4# lower. Less belt slipping also!
