The HVAC system is deleted. I dropped the short block in and now in trying to put the passenger side head on, it contacts the firewall before it's even in position. I'd guess I'm 1/2-3/4" shy of making it.

Can you post some images of your mounts so I can confirm you were sent the right parts. There is definitely something askew for you to be having that problem.
G-force crossmember but the trans is just sitting on it and not bolted solid.
Since I've never mocked-up a G-body installation using the G-force crossmember, I would suggest that you check your engine inclination angle relative to the bottom of the frame rail to get an idea as to where you're at with that characteristic. If the tailhousing of your transmission is sitting lower on the G-force crossmember then where it would be when using the Hooker G-body crossmember that will cause the cylinder heads to lean back into the firewall more.
There's nothing off with your engine bracket/mount attachment as I can see in your photo that you have the passenger side mount lined up with the correct set of holes. Other than your engine/trans inclination angle being excessive, I can't see what the cause of your fitment issue would be. Here's a couple of reference shots of the engine in the Holley Monte Carlo SS that show the position of the back of the engine relative to the firewall.
Looks super close on the Monte. Is there a reason you didn't move it a little bit forward.
Yes, moving forward any further would cause the alternator pulley on the F-body accessory drive set-up to experience interference with the steering box.
as little angle as possible. I have a g force cross member in my car and I added a stack of washers between the mount and the cross member to get the transmission as high in the tunnel as possible.
Hooker Long tube headers With column shift linkage
I got this hooker set up. Everything is very nice. Thing that concerns me in the long tube headers fitting with the column shift linkage. I just set my gen 3 5.3 in last week. Next I'll be putting in my stage 2 4l60e. I have the hooker cross member. Now the shift linkages..
