That is a problem with the big block frame. The small block frame gives quite a bit more foot room. I used to modify the footwell in the CR with good results. More than likely you will have to replace the carpet unless you can get it out without any damage.

From the bottom of the footwell I use a cutoff wheel to remove the fiberglass floor at the frame level and cut back into the trans hump as far as I can. I then drop the pan about 3", move the hump over about 6" to the right and above the frame rail. Then it's just a matter of patching it all back together or using steel to replace what you removed. It will give you a few more inches of foot room and more room for your leg against the trans tunnel.
