Go ahead and trim the ears off the trans bell. If you ever need to unhook the headers it will be easier. Those two studs hanging from cab floor make a nice place to mount a driveshaft safety loop. Pull your carpet back and mount some of that heat reflective stuff under it from the firewall back about 1/2 way on the floor. The headers will cook your feet on long trips. Don't cheap out on your cooling system, go aluminum water pump and radiator. You'll be glad you did. That's all I can think of right now.
