Done... I must say, the easyest header install ever. I give Kook's credit for this set.
Car started up right away and runs like a champ. You can't tell there is a cam except for the valvetrain rattle. The LSK is more aggresive than the XER and you can hear it. I installed a 2 piece timing chain cover and will be swapping cams to see what works best with the AFR's and a heavy car. I know this cam will pass smog, will see about power. Weather permiting, dyno and tune on Monday.
All in all, a pretty easy H/C job. A few Cadillac specific details, but nothing major at all.

What had to come off in terms of the a/c condensor ?
I did my own HC in my 04 GTO.
Please mention Caddy Specific Details...

Awesome dude. Yeah, as header installs go, thses cars aren't too bad at all. Even removeing the stock hardeware, it isn't THAT bad. Two piece timeing cover was a great idea man, ya never know when the next cam swap will be
Best wishes on the numbers man, i'm sure she'll make numbers.
later, J

Alt. bracket needs to be backed off to get the timing chain cover off, fuel line brackets get cut off to work with the Fast 90, front coolant crossover tube, you need to splice in some soft line and make a bend of two to clear the intake. I don't know if the engine beauty cover fits on the Fast, I did'nt try it. Stock plug wires were a bitch to get off, but they clear the Kooks just fine.

I don't think you are going to have enough room to clear the cam. better safe than sorry, just evacuate the system first. 2 days.
