How to bleed w/o Bench Method?
-pretty much like bleeding the brakes, you can do the gravity method, just make sure the reservoir is always full, or you can have a helper hold the clutch pedal as you break open the bleeder. two alternate ways are 1) cut a hole in the floorboard right above the bleeder so you don't need a helper 2) use the mighty vac to pull vacuum at the reservoir and have a helper pump the clutch pedal, again always keeping the reservoir full. Do a search there are plenty of writeups on it, the bleeder screw is hidden in the bellhousing but accessible by a hole, on the driver's side, just below the connection for the braided line, believe it's 5/16"?

-like JB said, autozone calls it a blind hole puller, you can find one on harbor freight also
Is there a necessary slave cylinder shim????
-in most cases no, with some high performance aftermarket clutches yes
Is the 98' and 02' exhaust mainfolds, cats, pipes, interchangable?
-yes, I believe the only difference is the 98 (maybe also the 99) have a 3 bolt flange on the driver's side to the cats, and the pass side is a ball joint, the 00+ have 3 bolt flanges on both sides, but if you get the headers and Y together they are the same

That sounds good....but I have to find a way to delete the smog or egr pump to use the 02' exhaust manifolds that I currently have. Since I would have to go and get a retune for the egr and air pump....should I just go ahead and get an inexpensive set of headers and intake?
BTW, my car has been lowered to the ground to where my stock y-pipe drags on speed bumps and steep shop inclines.
Any suggestions.....I'm not raising my car higher!!!
