Default Clearance issues dropping tranny

Well dropping my tranny atm and having some clearance problems with the long tube headers. The tranny doesn't want to clear the collectors. Anyone got any ideas? We can't roll backwards any because we're already backed into the floor pan. The headers are hooker long tubes. Do I have to pull the headers to drop the tranny?

It was hanging up on the bell housing but we removed the passenger side header and it slid right out. I just didn't want to pull the header if I didn't have to.
