I know this has been covered before and that there is most definately an original dash layout hidden somewhere in the forum posts.
I have done a a quick search but didn't manage to find it.
Take a look and you should find it if you look hard enough.

John,

This may be of help for an SC Dash layout...

You think some of those dials may be covered by the steering wheel when it's put on.... obviously original layout is pre SVA

Hi,

Correct, the speedo is the one the SVA man will worry about. When I built my 289, I had to make sure that speedo was visible, swap between rev and speedo to get the best location.

I have attached a picture of my dash, this passed the SVA with no issue.
