LCB/ Headers clearance issues?

I've been on and off lately to put the last hand on my engine upgrade and fit an LCB manifold on my engine, but I'm a bit concerned about clearance with the steering shaft on a left hand drive car, if I should buy for example a moss or a maniflow system, since from what I've interpreted there made for UK market cars...So would they fit straight on or would they need to be modified?

I've got a Maniflow LCB in my LHD bugeye. Adequate clearance for the steering column, but you may need to open up the hole where the header passes through the frame. I had to grind that hole open a bit to make adequate clearance.

I was able to get the header in place without pulling the motor, but it was a tight squeeze.
 
There was one brand of LBC that was a 2 piece design--can't remeber who right now. Split right above the 90 degree bend. Had I to do it all over I would consider that one as it would make removal/install much easier.
