air tube header question

I was wanting to put a set of A.I.R. compatable headers on a 1992 camaro with a 305. I looked at some flowtech and the hooker 2055. Both of these require modifying the a/c bracket. Is there a model/brand that is A.I.R. tube compatable that does not require bracket modification?

I don't if modification is neccesary on the following but Hedman and Edelbrock offer Headers with AIR tubes.

I know the Eldelbrocks are called TES headers.

No mods needed on the Hedmann 68470 or 68478 - you just have to get a 1 1/14 inch spacer from Home Depot for the lower brace that attaches to the header bolt - same with the power steering brace on the driver side - you use the old exhaust mani bolt, but put this spacer in to extend the bolt area where the brace attaches.

However, the Hedmann y-pipe doesn't quite work with the Elite (68478) header - but it comes with collector adapters that can be welded onto the y-pipe ends to extend them and make it fit well - the y-pipe seemed to be about 1 inch short in reaching the collectors on my 1992 - but this did the trick. I had no problems with the 68470's on my 1990.
