Hooker shorty header clearance opinion

Hi all. I have a set of hooker shorty headers that I also wrapped. I need some opinions on the clearance with the passenger side rear tube by the ac heater box. I uploaded a photo but it’s kinda hard to see. There is space to slide a credit card between the header and box but something is telling me that it is still not enough. Are they any other ways to make a little more space between the two? I was thinking on maybe taking the box out and seeing how much I shave off to buy myself some more room, then applying some gold heat tape. Are there any other options that might give me some more room?

I am willing to bet you have wornout motor mounts.
