You should be able to use 1st gen F-body headers.

Lowered I don't think any long tube headers will work safely as I want to lower my 69 camaro.
Fbody manis fit but it's tight on driver side by the steering box.
Does anyone make midlengths anymore?

Try Holley/Hooker on the mid-length headers.
OP, try the same brand long tubes for GenII Nova/GenI Camaro

I was just looking at my Jegs catalog last night and they had the 1st gen Camaro long tube swap headers from Hooker for a reasonable price.
