Default Transmission cross member ??

Working on my 64 1000 305, sm420.

Will be removing the sm for some new bearings and synchros in the future, as well as new clutch disc, pressure plate and throw out. Doing a little pre inspection and see that the trans crossmember is riveted to the frame rails. To me it looks like there is not enough room to move the trans far enough back to clear the clutch without the rear of the trans contacting the crossmember. Have any of you had to drill the rivets and remove the crossmember to do a trans R&R?
