[urq] AAN into 016 help

Hi all!   After too many years of sitting on an AAN engine, I finally bit
the bullet and am putting it into my '82 urq.
So far, so good, albeit a few problems.

Problem 1:  I have conflict with the crank-position & engine-speed sensors
between the WX and AAN.
My 016 only has a hole at the top of the bell-housing for the engine-speed
sensor, and no room next to the crank-position sensor which sits on the
driver's side of the block.
The AAN has a single bracket that holds both sensors attached to the
driver's sit of the block, with the engine-speed sensor requiring
appropriate clearance in the transmission bell housing.

What is the standard solution here?    I see 3 options:
   A.  Try to use the Urq engine-speed sensor along with cutting the AAN
bracket to hold only the crank-position sensor (my preferred option since I
wouldn't have to remove the transmission)
   B.  Cut the side of the transmission to enable proper fit of the AAN
engine-speed sensor
   C.  Enlarge the hole at top of the 016 to accept the AAN sensor in that
016 location.  The sensors would need to extend to the same depth.

Thanks,
Eric
