Transmission is a TH400 out of an Wagoneer with 2WD Tail housing.
Header are the 1 7/8 from Dougs but i have to change a lot because of the crossmember of the Pacer. Also i have a lot problems to fit the steering thru the headers.
In my opinion it is better to cut the frontend away and build a new Frontclip. It is much lighter and you have more space. The front section is not realy useful for a racecar.

 I'm using a Chassisworks Mustang II style front end on my Pro-Street AMX build. I still had to severely modify a set of Doug's 1 7/8" headers to fit. I had set the front track width same as stock, but still lost a little space between the frame rails. Also positioning the rack vs the engine was a bit of a challenge. What I did was to position the rack in between the oil pan and harmonic balancer by raising the engine up a bit. I had checked with Chassisworks and what I had done was within their limits. Take a look at the pictures in my AMX build to see some of what I had done, might give you some ideas.
