I suppose it's possible, just easier to design a VPU block that is not in the way rather then further complicate the already more than complex enough ram block making for a 9700. With surface mounts all-round the ram and elsewhere along with no card holes it's not an easy one for ram blocks. My ram blocks are 10mm high, (barb hole size dictating the thickness on mine more than anything else), So If an Atlantis were used with a design like mine it would need to give minimum 10mm clearance once it has tubes on those barbs.
