Do a search. There are tons of write ups on header installs that I found when I installed mine.

Be prepared to grind on your car for the LPPs. They aren't a direct bolt in.

As for recommended parts, NTK (NGK) O2 sensors. Get the Vette ones.

header install alone took me 8 hours, took my time to do it right. I did it in the garage on jack stands and it was plenty of room. Be careful not to reak the studs

HEADER STUDS

seriously, these are the best purchase I've made on my car. Also, I didn't see header gaskets on your list, or anti-seize

That's what everyone said the second time they had to revise them to get the collector to point the right way. So, onto revision 3 (that we know of). Cross fingers, pray, and keep the grinder handy.
