Whats all needed for header install?
plugs if you wish to change them, as most of them should be removed to reduce the risk of breakage. do you want poly motor mounts? if so, when you remove the manifolds & cats would be the time...
Instead of 02 extensions I would get the rear 02's for a 2002 vette. They run a little hotter and are long enough to reach the end of the long tube, no need for extensions. You can get them from Kragen auto parts. Bosh part #13111

I skinny person for the bolts in the back on the passenger side.... I would not recomend using paper gaskets, you will be changing them out shortly!!!
Are you elimating the EGR and AIR! If so go to your local parts store and pick-up a 1 5/8" freeze plug if you have a 98-00 LS1.
You will be fine re-using the bolts and gaskets.

It is really easy to eliminate that stuff....the car runs better without it, but I also live in fla where we can run without those. who did you buy these headers from....
I sell the extentions for $19.99 each for a 24' extention

You only really need O2 extentions. You can reuse the GM header gaskets & the bolts if you put washers behind them. I would get some new plugs & wires since they need to come out anyway. New header bolts is a good idea. Stage 8 are good ($40). The ARP head studs ($90) are kind of a pain to use. Only put the back ones in until you get the headers into place if you do the ARP's. Use only GM gaskets. If the headers come with gaskets do not use them.
