Default Headers and ac bracket mod?

Just ordered a set of longtubes for my ‘72 with ac and I noticed the ac used one of the exhaust manifold bolts and things look pretty tight. Is it expected that every longtube will need to mod the bracket? Hoping it’s an easy fix preferably something diy w/ spacers. Also I plan on using a wideband in each header-would placing them at the 9 and 3 clear?

Found this though idk if it’ll work with my no name headers.

The A/C bracket works on any header I have ever used.....this bracket was on my own car and will go back on when the A/C is re-installed.
A wideband in each collector is what you mean...correct?
