OK I'm going to answer my own question in case anyone else was wondering the same thing. I spoke with Dave from Vintage Metalworks.
According to Dave, if you are using his spacer plate from Vintage Metalworks:
If you use a 10" clutch disc (NAPA Part number ND4201) then you do NOT need to shorten the bearing retainer. For anyone using an Astro Van clutch disc (11") you will need to shorten the bearing retainer 1/4".
That means that all that needs to be done is a shorter driveshaft and a lowering of the e-brake crossmember and I should be in business! Can't wait...
