If removing the gutter and installing the rail in its place gives you the proper clearance, that is the way I would do it. If the drip rail sits to low then just mount the rail above it. If you do mount it above the drip rail, leave it in place as it is sealed and you would have a whole bunch of screw holes in the sidewall to deal with.
