If you can modify the passenger side fire wall for clearance for the coil pack then you can slide you engine back some more. This is where I have clearance issues. As my engine sits I can pass my finger in-between the fire wall and the right side coil pack and my crank pulley is about 3/16 clear of the front cross member. My cross member is angled back some older frames are more vertical witch would give more room.
