Default Clutch Install Question

I'm getting ready to buy the LS7 Clutch Kit and just had a few questions.

1 - Will I need to pull my headers for the install?

2 - Do I need to buy a new GM Slave Cylinder and Hydralic Clutch Main Cylinder?

3 - Is there anything else i need to purchase with the LS7 Clutch Kit and LS2 Flywheel besides the Bolt Kit?

Thanks for any help and any tips you have.

I am in the process of getting my tranny rebuilt and I pulled it myself and installed my new SPEC 3 clutch. Headers don't interfer with the tranny and I would purchase a new slave just for the extra security. While I am down here at the tranny I am gonna replace my torque arm with a new adjustable one, I helped a friend change his and it was a B-$*! so I am gonna cross all the bridges at once. I learned from when I put my headers on I should have done my motor mounts then, I could have saved some busted knuckles and patience.

buy the remote clutch bleeder, i forgot who sells it,(someone on this board) but it will help when bleeding the clutch, also a new pilot bushing/bearing.

just like donalr76 said these are just lessons learned from doing my install, do it once and do it right, that way u wont kick urself in the *** later down the road

ill search the remote bleeder for u, since im bored

edit: looks like theres a sponser now https://ls1tech.com/forums/manual-transmission/708700-remote-clutch-bleeder-new-sponsor.html here u go
