New Hemi in a 69 Valiant Power Steering?

I posted a thread on this topic earlier on, unfortunately without any conclusive answer, so I'll chime in on this one as it is now more recent...

Seems Joe and ramit are quite consise on the no go of running any known headers or manifolds together with a power-steering box in an A-body.

Now, my question is: What space is there between the heads (exhaust ports) and the steeing-box? What I'm leading up to is this: Is there any room for custom fabricating a manifold at all?? As power-steering is a defintive requirement for my 71 Swinger, this is the big go- no-go issue for any further HEMI plans...
