So why not buy uncoated shorties with smog tubes then cut/weld the tubes? If it were for a show vehicle and welding then welding the smog tubes shut might be a big thing, but if clearance and performance are the main benefit just cut and weld shut the tubes (or use some type threaded plug -- I haven't looked at a set close enough to see if that's a viable option). Yes it's a bit of work and/or extra expense, but sometimes you have to do that to get what you want, especially with AMCs!
