Arrow questions before i attempt this

ok right now i have plans to put my clutch in next weekend..i have LT Jet Hots(see sig) and i am replacing the clutch and the slave and master cylinder. WILL I HAVE TO REMOVE ANY OF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM?? the reason i ask is because it is all wielded together... i have heard that i wouldnt but i would like to verify before i decide to set aside a whole day to do this(2 people are helping with this too) also, given i have the proper tools with 3 people, about how long should it take to do the complete install. we have access to a rack so that should help.

Not seeing your set up I'm pretty sure you'll be OK.
There is usually alot of room for it to be pulled back & dropped.(trans)
