Default Headers Question on 1969

I ahve a 1969 F-100 with a 360 and three on the tree. I am looking to add full length headers but it looks like there isn't enough room on the drivers side due to the clutch lever that is connected to the frame. Does anybody have an idea if they will work. I would rather not go with shorty headers due to the cost.

Was able to get with Flowtech on a complete exhaust with Full length headers for under $350.

Default I'M Tired

Very Tired after spending 9 hours cutting out the old exhaust and isntalling the new headers. Yes, 9 hours. I cut out the old after realizing it wasn't coming out any other way. When starting the new headers I had to remove the starter, Jack up the passenger side of the motor a couple inches. Everything was fine until I got the starter back in position after the header was fed down in I had the top bolt for the starter drop betwen the starter and the block and couldn't get it out without taking the two lower bolts back out and moving the starter. Yes, That was trustrating. Once that was done things moved quickly. I then started on the passenger side and had to unheek the clutch assembly and jack the motor up using a flange off of the tranny. Doing this by myself made it harder than it should've been. Here are the pics of the process.
