headers swap. do the motor mounts? how hard is it? i ordered pacesetter lt (race style) and a ORY. are motor mounts a total PITA to do? also which ones should i go with and where can i buy them? i want to do this so i dont have the pacesetter y pipe bang. any help is appreiciated. 
Since you have the headers off, it should not be that hard. I know mine took all day, but I had nothing removed and it was a tight fit.
I had to grind down the medal tabs on the poly mounts as I could not get a few of the bolts in. That is what took me the longest.
And I have shitty luck, it was the very last bolt so I was not going to take the others out to grind the tabs. I just fanaggled the dremmel enough to grind the tab down.
Have you did some research to see how people re-use their clam shell and the bolts/nuts you will need?

ive read alot but never heard that
It all depends on how bad your stock mounts are... Mine were pretty loose and worn out.
Before I did the poly mounts I notched the k-member a little and also pop riveted a rubber hose to the floorboard under the car to keep the ORY from banging under my seat, and it worked. No false knock.
I finally upgraded the polly mounts after I did my H/C as the motor was twisting pretty damn hard under load due to the worn out mounts.. So, I had to do it.

Well, its going to be more of a PITA to do when you have to pull the headers back off or attempt to do it with the headers on.
It wont take you more then a ~3 hours to do after you have all the exhasut off.
Or, just leave the mounts you have alone and see if they bang. Its up to you.

i did them when i had my headers installed. i went spohn as they are a sponser and at a good price. i think they were like 50.00.its worth just installing and not having to worry about it later. the motor does not even move at all on mine and y-pipe always banged the bottom,not anymore.
