I have some pictures if they'll help but can't post them until tomorrow. Basically, the top inboard-rear bolt on the steering box lines up with the second spark plug from the back if you are looking from overhead.
Maybe some of you guys with different header brands could snap a pic from above with a tape measure in it for scale?
And yes, I'd rather have my headers tuck up pretty tight. My engine sits fairly low with the Holley 302-2 pan about 1/2" above the crossmember.

I have various images at work of the new Hooker headers from the same angle and can post them up for you for a comparative reference if you like. The other location you can get a common distance location that is familiar to most is how far away your passenger side cylinder head is from the firewall...I have a clear shot showing that distance obtained with using the new Hooker clamshell retrofit engine brackets and crossmembers as well, so with all of that you should get a fair idea of what your header options are. Lasty, I think it would be important to you to ask anyone posting images of their combos to also show the ground clearance of the headers since it seems to be high on everyone's list of important design features.
