To the OP, I would call RA Resto and talk to them in detail about what the difference is between the ones your waiting on for the 67 and the 68 and up A body ones if they have those in stock.

Years ago I got around a long production delay / wait on a set of headers by by doing what I suggested .
All I had to do to run a set of headers that the company had in stock was to make a 1/4” steel plate shim to go under the motor mount frame brackets ( big washers would have also worked) and grind a 1/8” deep by 3/4” wide and tall U shape on the rear of the frame before the starter and on the passenger side also as I recall.

The 1/4” rise in height gave me no fan to shroud clearance issues or any other problems!
The whole process took me 3 hours and the next day by late afternoon the motor was back in the car and I drove it to get fresh fuel in it.
