it is pretty cut and dry... remove alternator and air lines just for some extra room, pull spark plugs and steering shaft, don't forget the egr on the passengers side rear, dipstick has to get out of the way passenger side goes in from the bottom, drivers side goes in through the top, be carefull with pacesetter's exhaust gasket kind of low quality in my opinion, change the plugs while you have headers suspended in place but not bolted down, don't crack any spark plugs and double check your spark plug wire routing. If you are using P/S headers, you have to get the P/S y-pipe.

the spark plugs are 5/8" right, i bought a socket for it then saw they make both sizes. The car doesn't have anywhere near the mileage to need plugs but i planned on changeing them anyways..

Before you consider doing headers or ORY, you may want to find out about ORYs, cause they aren't common without headers... cause to me it sounds like your gonna want both.
