Idler arm problem

Ok so I swapped in a 73 v8 k frame and 360 into my 71 swinger. I reused the power steering box and pitman arm. I'm trying to put the suspension together and I can't get the idler in. The angle of the bracket is very high and the drag link won't even make contact with the idler arm at that angle. Not to mention I have hooker 5901 headers in there and they are completely blocking the idler from even going into the bracket. Am I missing something here, cuz the figment is not even remotely close. The idler for a 73 goes up from the bracket, which would put it higher than the oil pan, my 71 idler goes down from the bracket and is far closer to fitting, but of course doesn't fit all the way.

I really need help on this one.
