Right hand dipstick engine swap ?

I have found a recently rebuilt 350 from a 82 truck that I may want to install in my 1970 C10. It has the right hand dipstick. Will that cause problems with ram horn manifolds ? What if I switch to headers later ? . Has anyone dealt with this problem before, or is is not a problem ? Pics would be great if you happen to have any. Thanks.

Talking

We have an 82 engine in a 70 4x4 and the main problem is the truck has AC.

Getting to the dipstick is cumbersome but other than that no problems.
