Re: hooker longtubes in a 99z28 If you go without cats, you will need the O2 sims. These will plug in to the cable that your O2 sensors used to connect to behind the cats. With you car being a 99. You may want to get a new set of GM gaskets. They are better than the ones that come with the Hooker LT's. You will probably want to get a can of anti-seize for the bolts and spark plugs if you don't already have some. The LT's should have came with new header bolts and the gaskets to hook up your EGR crap as well.
As you can probably tell, I have an 02. I put the Hooker LT's on. I reused the header gaskets and bolts. I'm probably going to go with the Stage 8 locking bolts as soon as it warms up. Not going out in the garage to replace them now.
That should be about it. Allow yourself plenty of time if you are going to install them yourself. Took me about 15 hours, but I piddle a lot and I had to screw with the AIR Tubes not being right for the headers I got.
Good luck.
