The best way to install headers is going to be dropping the K member, and it put the bolts right in your face from everything I've seen and read. Ordered my LT's for my auto last week and they will be going in the car in a few weeks.

I have an 03 gt auto conv. and my brother installed lt headers on mine. We had to take the k member off and the starter on the passenger side. And he had to life the motor up and still had problems getting to the back bolts on the passenger side.

i run 3" hooker super comp lt headers on my car. 03 vert. only thing i had to do was lift the whole car 18 inches off the ground, then undo motor mounts and lift motor until it hit the firewall. swivel sockets and extension helped alot.
