they are approxemnty straight (cant tell, car is at an angle in the garage) and do you have to remove both bolts or can you take one out and pull it loose? Also if its stuck, where and how would you hit it to break it loose? sorry first header install

I didnt have to remove anything other than the plugs when I installed my Jet hots on my SS. I did have to grind approx. 1/4" off the casting boss protruding off the side of the block, I believe it was the passenger side. Its only for assembly line purposes and is no longer needed anyway.
Put a block of wood or a phonebook on a jack and put it under the oil pan. Slowly jack it up. You should get a couple of inches of clearance from the engine lifting before the whole car starts to lift off your jackstands. It should give you room to get the drivers side header in. I did that and didn't have to grind the casting boss or remove the steering linkage.
