just make sure you dont go too wide, i went like 12" x 12" or something in that area, you dont want to cut into the under bracing. so maximize the hole you can fit in that area :)

Had the same issue with my 70' I really didn't want to cut the hood so I got a deeper, lower pan to hold the 2"
filter. Had to bend and cut the bottom to make room for the choke and fuel line but all looks good when together.
