Once you had the tubular engine mounts in, did the Camaro manifolds clear everything ok, or was there still a clearance issue somewhere?

Thanks! About the wire looms, though. They're in the way of being able to use a dipstick. I used a Lokar dipstick, but had to shorten it, and I really can't get it out to check the oil.
The Camaro manifolds actually would have worked well with the tubular mounts. I just went with headers since they were inexpensive enough. Another option is the Hooker manifolds if you wanted to go in that direction.
