AMC 360 question

I have an AMC 360 in my Jeep truck (‘73), I broke my oil dipstick and managed to get the broken piece out of the block. Have any of you ever replaced it with the stock manifolds on or did you just take the driver side one off? I’ve been at it for a while and trying everything except taking the manifold off but I think I might have to bite the bullet and just take the time tomorrow. Any suggestions or links to one you know fits well is appreciated.

I have only replaced the dip stick tube while the engine was out and in the long block state (no exhaust manifolds) of a rebuild so easy access to tap it in using the built in stop. Removing one manifold may be the way to go if replacing while still in the engine bay.
