Deep trans pans & K10 front driveline?

[SilverMiner]

Well, here's a question I should have asked BEFORE I went crazy ordering stuff from Summit:

I bought one of these "deep" TH350 pans http://www.summitracing.com/parts/der-14200, but now that I'm in the process of removing the old transmission I realize that even in stock configuration the front driveline gets pretty darn close to the trans pan.

So, should I install the new deep pan and see how things work out? Has anyone had prior experience using deep pans with a K10? I was looking forward to having a ready-made port to attach my temp send to instead of the hokey in-line compromise I've been using.

Thanks for the input,
