Sucks about the camera. Some have to unbolt the motor and jack it up to get the header to slip in from the bottom.

I'd try taking the valve cover off first. With the valve cover off, my passenger side long tube slipped right in through the top.

You need to get the car REAL high to get them in from the bottom (unsafe high, as they call it). If your doing it from the top, then take those valvecovers off and anything else that gets in your way. You are going to need to make space.
