Nope! But it might be worth doing your motor mounts at the same time and switching to urethan mounts. Having the new mounts give you more clearance and prevent banging. You'll definitely want nice high jack stands under the front though (or a lift) to get the right angle on the headers going in.

Please listen to this!!

Installing motor mounts after headers is not very smart if you can do it at the same time!

+1, do the mounts at the same time.

I had to drop the AC, but not the Alternator...I did mine the same time as the headers though. Best part was it really eased the header install.

Just out of curiosity are they the new long tube or are they the older "tuned" equal length headers?

Dont need to drop the K member, but it sure makes em easy
