Or will the valves not clear the pistons?

It probably will, but you're gonna have to clay them anyway. It would irresponsible of anyone to tell you otherwise.

Yes I am going to a 410, with AFR 205s.

I am also planning to build a 331 that will have the XE274 cam and either AFR 185s or Windsor Seniors. That is what I am going to do with my 302 after it is out of the car.

This is purely for information ... I was curious if anyone actually has used AFR 165s with a XE274 cam on a stock bottem end.

I know this doesn't help answer your question, but for sure you won't be able to use stock pistons and AFR 185s.
