Hey Shaun,
I am pretty sure Pacemaker make pipes to suit that model with that engine combo. If not try a set of HQ-WB Holden, the chassis outlay is very similar.

Many years ago, a friend of mine had an Aussie delivered '68 Impala.  
He fitted a Corvette 427 (with tri power) into it and found that the exhaust manifold on the driver side fouled the steering column - but not by much.
He was able to machine the manifold on the mating surface to the head on a slight angle to make the manifold more block hugging and clear the steering column.
As far as extractors are concerned, I reckon Chris is on the money with HQ idea.
