I dont think that this can be done because the TCP coilover suspension uses upper control arms where the RRS system does not.

The TCP UCA uses the "Shelby drop" mounting location.

thanks for the pic, it helped out a lot...now i just gotta figure out if the space above the mounting location will be beneficial for me to notch out or not

Looking at this pic off their website I don't see how your going to pull this off. How are you going to attach the UA? Unless your installing a mod motor I don't see any need to notch the towers. You will either have to go MII or use the RRS Mac Strut setup.

I got templates from RRS and notched towers on a 65 Mustang. I was contemplating this exact setup for installing a 4.6 DOHC in my car and using the TCP suspension. I will try and post some pics in the next couple of weeks. I am not quite finished with the mock-up but I am convinced that this will not work. Only options are RRS or MII.
