is the vent part that comes down or the actuall hood itself, if its the vent you could just cut the piece out thats hitting, how bad is the vent hitting?

edit: i say the edited picture, maybe some how mount the head unit lower? is the head unit hitting or the radiator hose?

call the manufacturer of the supercharger and tell them maybe the can mod the bracket so the headunit will not hit.

Is it the head unit itself, or the discharge elbow part of the blower (not the tube, but the elbow on the blower where the hose clamps on..)? You may be able to re-clock the discharge housing enough to get it to clear if that's the case. Some can be turned in the car, but some have to go to the manufacturer to check clearances..
Otherwise, I think you're scr*wed.
Sorry...
