Hardest part of the onnes I have done. Were th Y pipe. Aroung the torque arm and the drivers pass side floor board. Other than that not to bad.
I have installed a few pairs on my own and friends cars.
On another note. Friend of mines 96 LT1 did the !cat mod this weekend for him. Cake walk. That has to be the easiest exhaust to drop and weld in new pipe.

Good to hear it was easy. I ended up throwing some tools, lol. But overall it wasn't bad. Mine took about a month, but thats because after I got the headers installed, I got under the car to bolt up the y-pipe and they had sent me the wrong one 
Took awhile to get everything shipped back and straightned out. I ended up driving it around the block and trailered it to the track with open headers. I thought the drivers side was easier than the passenger side. Only problem I have with it now is the ORY pipe bangs the floorpan on turns when I am 50-100% in the throttle.
