Depending on your drive assembly, you might have to notch the existing crossmember, and move the sway bar/steering rack forward.

Can you post some pictures? Some forum members have gotten away with a 12-rib + 6-rib ATI damper combo without altering the crossmember. There is a forum member on here running a small 144 weiend blower with a carb, unfortunately this section of the forum is a little slow to respond.
