Default LT header install?

Anyone know any good guides for installing long tubes on an LT1? Ive seen plenty on the LS1 but none for an LT1? Can someone give me some links with some good guides or any kind of reference?

i just installed a set of mid lengths on my car and it wasn't too bad. i had to remove the alternator, starter, oil filter, plugs and a few other brackets but overall it was just nuts and bolts, nothing complicated.... my biggest advice is use a lift if you can or get ur car as high as u can on jacks, and be patient. i ran into a lot of little problems that held me up.... but if u are at alll familiar with fixing cars u should have no problem getting the headers on.... oh, and one last thing, getting the plugs out of an LT1 sucks, even with my headers on. theres way to much **** in the way of em

I recently did Hooker LT's, and my experience was great! Fit like a glove, maybe I just got lucky?
