Thanks for everybody's help.  Here is a quick update.

I used quite a bit of explosive language and PB Blaster and finally go the top and bottom pinch-bolts out.

I then loosened the rack from the frame to get more space but the top knuckle was stuck to the splined shaft. More PB Blaster and more explosive language. In working the top knuckle out I pulled some part of the steering column through the firewall. That can't be good. I'll post a picture when I get a chance.

With the steering shaft now sitting on the floor I find that the old header will NOT come out through the space between the firewall and the bell housing. I'm going to have reach up and cut it into parts to extract it. That should be fun!

Hopefully the new header will fit through the gap.
