Will the headers clear?

I'm about to order a set of headers for my 75 but I'm not for sure they would clear this factory crossmember I have. I have a 3 on the tree by the way. But at the back of the block and front of the bellhousing there is a little crossmember that is factory. I'm trying to figure out if long tubes will clear it. Do any of you guys have this crossmember and do you know if they will clear it?

lot of variables
went thru 2 sets of headers before I got lucky. first set had to remove sway bar and cross member, found out that the right side header hit main frame cross member, made by Crager early 1970's

2nd set fit, was able to reinstall cross member and sway bar, unfortuanly there is no id markings on headers, so I dont know who's they are ie headman, hooker etc

From a quick look at this cross member it looks like its not removeable but I don't see what purpose it has it doesn't hold anything. I'm gonna try and get a picture when it's light out.
