Looks to me like you can shorten the water pump inlet or cut it off and change the inlet hose angle to make it clear all that stuff.

I think so too. Didn't need the 6 valve pump so didn't go there. A little grinding on the block may also be needed.
What we really need is someone to make sb aluminum water pumps in pre-'70 style (short nose, driver side inlet) LOL
