Default A/C bracket & headers

Hey gang

Well I'm still learning about the SB 4 spd 69 Vette, planning on Hooker headers and sidepipes.

I see now that the A/C bracket needs to modified to fit around the header tube.
Is there an after market bracket to fit around the Hooker tube?
Do I just grind the crap out of the original one?
Does this have any effect on car value?
Should I just weld and machine a new one?

Thanks!!

Click on the link above and you can read the instructions for installing the headers. I believe hooker tells you how to modify your existing or sell a different bracket to make the install.
