I would definitely get those stainless LT's from texas speed. Get good gaskets. ARP 5/16 1" bolts. You ll love me for it i promise. A lot easier to get too.
As far as emissions, just block off the egr plates on the back of the intake. Dig out the damn air pump, and get rid of the evap crap.

As for gaskets get Percys aluminum. Can get them from WS6Store

When you install your new plugs and wires, ZIP TIES ARE YOU FRIEND, tuck them down and away so you do not have to worry about torching a wire. Been there done that.

Once installed definitely get some stainless band clamps for the header to the y.

Don't worry about a tune. A service engine light won't bother anyone.

Have fun with the open y for a while, just sounds pissed off!

My car is a '94 (i previously had a '95), but i dont think it's an early one.

These will do you just fine as long as you retorque the bolts after a few heat cycles.

They can even be reused as long as they haven't been damaged by extensive leaking.
