how many pipes is it hitting? moving just one wouldnt be too bad, or get an aftermarket column kit from speedway. unless you still use the keyed ignition and wipers etc.

depending on how much there hitting.... I had the same problem on my s-10..... just took a hammer to pipe on the header... but it was maybe 1/8''-1/4'' so it didnt hurt nuthin
