I agree with Paul.
I found it to be wise to remove the header before removing or installing the
engine. I guess if your car is a POS (no not yours Phil, but in general)it
doesn't matter. If you have the stock manifold it's easier but headers are
harder to clear. Yes I've done it but I banged the shit out of the header
and it was a POS and I didn't care.
I had my headers Jet Hotted and I value them and my car too much to smash
them up.
