will these 4th gen pacesetter headers work on my 3rd gen?

hello, my 90 rs camaro is undergoing a LT1 t56 swap and i was wondering if these 4th gen headers will fit my 3rd gen body with no clearance issues.

they wont work. i think the driver side has the clearance issues. it has to do with either the firewall or the steering. im pretty sure you can use any third gen headers because it is still a sbc.

4th gen exhaust kicks outward right were the 3rd gen frame rails jog inward.

4th gen long tube headers won't fit in the 3rd gen chassis.

Your going to need D-port style headers. The ones that will work will be these http://www.summitracing.com/parts/HED-68469/

I have to get the same ones above but all order them from Jet-hot.
This will be the 3rd set of LT headman's for me.
