1st gen camaro headers or shorties with engine very close to firewall?

My passenger side head may stay about 1/2"-3/4" away from the firewall. Im using 3/4" not 1" setback plates with a stock uncut fbody pan. What shorty headers, mid length or full length headers fit in this location?

Im about 5/8" back with Dingo sliders in my Nova (same subframe) and running Dougs headers. Fantastic fit with zero clearance issues.

Dynatech headers on mine, I'm running car shop plates. Texas speed sells some that exactly like them. Both priced very well and fit well too.

Can you guys tell me how far is your pass head from the firewall?
Are you all using 1" or 3/4" or 1/2" setback plates?
What oil pan are you guys using?

Head is just finger thickness (3/4"?) off the firewall
1" set-back plates keeping the trans in stock location
Holley oil pan
