Default Tranny removal with longtubes

Can the transmission be removed in a 6 speed ls1 f-bod with long tube headers still in place?

It looks fine except for the part of the bellhousing where the starter goes...it looks like it will hit the header. The header hangs over this area about 1/4 inch.

Anyone know for sure?

thanks a lot

I run into more problems w/ the Y pipe. The trans tail is right there.
You unbolt the trans from the bell housing remove it. Then you take the bell off the block to access the clutch.

My headers cause no problem. But I must drop my "Y" pipe. It is much easier to remove the trans from the bell housing, then remove the bell housing. Install in the revers order as well.

I left the y-pipe on taking the trans out. Removed the y-pipe for added room and less hassle putting back in. Next time I will just remove it to start with.
