I won't lie. They are a PITA.
After its all said and done you will look back on it and think "oh it wasn't that bad" but while you are living through it its hell.
Not to discourage you, you should do this. Just have a really good supply of tools and make sure your mother is not around to hear you swearing.

i did it without messing with the motor mounts. worked fine. def have to remove the alt, i took off the pass valve cover too. go ahead and put new plugs in while your doing this, its a pain in the *** with headers.

To me it was not that big of a deal. Six hour job, if you have an idea of what to do. That in mind, spray the exhaust manifold bolts with PB a good 24 hours prior to working on the thing, just in case. I removed alternator, steering knuckle and plugs.
