Link to the headers in question? Full length headers will not fit without mods to exhaust.

Nothing too bad. You'll have to fab up a y-pipe. Also its really hard and usually not worth it to run duals. A good mandrel bent 3" exhaust is all you need on these motors.

If they're full-length, I'd suggest looking for somebody with install pics first. The full-length Hedman 89210 for the '78-'79 are a ******* to run. You have to remove the starter, dipstick tube and front driveshaft to install them - and then custom bend the dipstick tube to reinstall - and then the headers exit RIGHT AT the front crossmember.

If they're shorties - rock on.
