Looks like I might hafta drop the exhaust on that side? Any answers or suggestions would be appreciated.

Mine mounted that way too. When the mini starter came I thought I had the wrong one. But when I slid under the truck and looked straight up there were the holes I needed to to mount it. I used one shim on both bolts and one split washer on each and it snugged right up. And it's a lot lighter (7 lbs) so it easier to mount.I used a floor jack to let the old one down, just had to wiggle it around a little to clear the exhaust. I still coulda used another hand though. Might want to look under your engine and see (course you gotta take the old starter off to see the holes).
