Default Hooker install Q's?????

How did the install go? I can get them installed by a local shop for $325, but I think I can do it myself. My questions are as follows:

I assume they both went in from the bottom, correct?

What if anything other than the obvious (manifolds, y-pipe) had to be removed to allow the headers to fit? (I.E. Steering shaft, etc.)

What were the problem areas, if any?

What to watch out for?

Anything else I should know?

Thanks, Shawn <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Install is pretty sraight forward (i didn't even have directions <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> ). I put both in from the bottom, and you WILL have to remove the steering shaft and oil diverter plate (thingy right above the oil filter), at least i did anyway! You'll lose a very small amount of oil, maybe a coupla shot glasses full. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Other than that... the passenger side header bolt closest to the fire wall is the---> <img border="0" alt="[devil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />
