Default Are LT headers a problem with dropping a manual trans?

Is there a big problem in time or any additional time needed to drop a manual transmission from an '02 camaro with longtubes on it w/ y-pipe and cats?

The headers shouldn't be a problem but you will have to take the y pipe and cats out.

You just need to remove the Y-pipe.

No, it won't be a problem. I dropped my tranny with the Y-pipe still bolted onto the longtubes (Hooker ORY).

That's what I thought. The dealership was trying to tell me it's extra because of the headers and subframe connectors. I'm trying to tell the guy it's the same as stock and the headers shouldn't be in the way and the rest maybe aftermarket, but it's in the same place the stock things were (i.e y-pipe, torque arm, etc...).

I dropped my trans without removing the kooks headers or ypipe.
