Default 122 Clutch/drive shaft

I was looking into my clutch issue today. I replaced a couple of missing engine mount bolts and the clutch is constantly engaged now. Anyhow, I looked down the open creeper control cutout (no creeper installed) at the drive shaft to see how tough it'll be to get the pins out for removal and I noticed the shaft appears to be seriously modified. I'm wondering if somewhere along its journey that there may have been a creeper installed (and since removed) and some PO has done a job modifying the shaft to get it running again. I shot a short video showing the mess and plan to upload it as soon as I can so you can all see what I'm dealing with. With the engine slid back into proper position, the shaft seems to be too long causing the drive plate bushing to ride against the flywheel which eliminates any effect of the clutch.

Meanwhile, can anyone tell me the length of the clutch drive shaft without the creeper installed? I was intending to replace it and am worried it may need to be a custom length.

I'll get the video up as quick as possible...
