You could use spacers on the engine mounts to raise engine & clear the steering shaft.Not my first choice,but would work.
Install a rack & pinion steering set-up.
The 3 spd saginaw trans has poor gear ratios,,, but, if you must. Last thing, sometimes our 6's are not the fastest as compared to those V-thingys, so putting your car on a diet is always good.

Well by diet, I assume you mean loosing extra weight...
and I'm not keeping the saginaw 3 speed, I'm probably going to try to find a chevy 3 speed + OD. I've been looking at the A833 they used in chevy trucks in the 80s. What do you consider good gear ratios? 2.5:1,1.5:1,1:1? I'm assuming you don't like how the saginaws have a high first gear... am I right? well the A833 isn't any better then... it has a 3.09:1 first.
69 Buick Special Deluxe. Intercooled Turbo Chevy 250 @ 15psi on a stock long block. It's kinda fast.
