76 camaro/Small Block Cal tacs with split mono leafs , Moroso 47180 springs in front not cut yet.

I'd leave the lower snubbers in. Technically, you're supposed to have a snubber of some sort in the upper but I've seen an awful lot of cars that have had them "fall out" over the years and I have put taller ones in my cars to help my RTs.
Some of the newer high $$$ shocks give you the option of travel limiting too.

Check toe in through the front end travel. In A bodies, the toe in gets severe after so many inches of lift, so a snubber can help. Otherwise there could be a lot of tire drag or steering when coming down from the wheelie. You should be able to get around 6" or so with modest toe in change per inch of travel.
