Question '81 Z28 Headers

Hey all.
I'm stumped. Its not really a problem, rather I want a set of headers for my 1981 Z28 Camaro 350 with the 350 turbo transmission. I don't have the slightest idea of what will fit. Jegs has Doug's headers that say they fit 67-81 262-400 smallblocks, but I'm having clearance issues. I have an automatic trans and very little ground clearance.

I have picked over places like Jegs and Ebay and can't seem to find ones I like. I want to get Black Ceramic or Metallic Ceramic.

I don't need discussions on whether or not to go with headers; I'm already decided on it. The Secondary Air Injection and manifolds have got to go.

Thanks. I wasn't sure as to whether or not the transmission would make a difference. I know it can on certain cars, but like I said, I wasn't entirely sure about the Camaro.
What brand did you go with and how did they perform?

I have a set of Doug's shorty headers on my Tahoe and used the metallic gaskets.
I like them and the price was good.
