These worked for my hookers so I am sure it will work for you. Take out oil diverter plate, two small 10mm? bolts right above the oil filter. Take out oil filter if you have not already. remove steering knuckle and make sure you have the car as high as possible so you can manueuver the header good. Good luck!!

other handy tip.

turn the head flange straight up and down, and slide it in first.

Get the car up high.
Remove the steering linkage.
Remove oil filter.
I unbolted the motor mount and jacked the motor up about 2 inches.
After all of the above it went it so simply it was amazing.

You dont have to remove any of the steering assembly or jack the motor up. You have to have the oil filter off. The key is to get the car about 25 to 30 inches off the ground. You have to work the flange in then it will fit real close to the to the k member but then it will slide right in. You just have to wiggle it and fanagle it a little. Trust me it will go in with out removing those parts. I know because I just installed a set of kooks lt's and ory on my 2000 TA.
