Default header touching AC lines. Need help!

I just installed some longtubes on my vette and the AC line is against the header on the passenger side. The line has the heat wrap on it but I'm still afraid it's going to get too hot. Anybody else ever has this problem? If so what did you do ?

I tried to move the AC line but it is such a tight fit. Oh, By the way I was lucky and didn't have to jack up the drivers side of the engine. The pass side was the hardest to get in. I need to figure something out with the AC line before I drive it very much.
