that looks great thanks for posting the pics...I am now fully convinced that I am going to get the pacesetters for my 71 instead of the edelbrock victor series headers.
Did you have to cut and reweld the collectors like others have?
What mounts and mouting plates are you using?
Edit
Read your previous posts and seems like you are using the Energy suspension mounts and S&P plates.

Passenger side header is where I had the most trouble. I had to dent header second tube back, down by the frame. (tape in pic, the frame sticks in for the lower control arm.) If the motor sat back more toward the fire wall, it would clear. But then run into alternator issues with the crossmember. Also had to bend collector in on passenger side, that was hitting frame. Driver side wasn't too bad. The collector is pointing toward the frame, but it is not hitting.
