1. Do I try cutting it off?
2. Find some replacements and rivet or bolt on new (used) one on? Anybody know where I could find a set?

For the level of build you're doing, I'd vote to put it back like it came...and I think you could with not too much effort. My frame was hacked on and cracked. We had to do a fair amount of prep work on it too. Attached is a pick of the frame I bought my exhaust hanger off of. The whole frame is for sale for $500. I called and asked if he'd sell me the hanger...and he didn't blink. Might be worth a call to see if he'd take off your pieces too. Also, member Uncle had a 72 frame for sale/part out forever. It was very rusty, but that cross member might be workable if he's still got it.
Here's the website with the frame for sale (just scroll down when you get there):
