I have an 89 Iroc with 350 and 5 speed, I was just wondering if I get headers, will the headers hit the linkage....cuz I herd that might happen.....cuz its a 5 speed.

Unless you get headers not designed for the vehicle you shouldn't have a problem.
An 89 5speed has a hydraulic clutch and no external shift linkage to speak of.
What was swapped, the motor or the tranny?

You will be fine. I have a 5spd and I didn't have clearance issues at all. All small blocks have the same external dimesions so it doesn't matter what motor you have.
