No, you don't have to, unless you want to lower your k member. But, honestly, I have had to do both, it would just be easier to lower k member to do it. I tried the lifted engine approach for the header and it was a pita. But I had to lower my K member for getting my tranny out, it just opens everything up, easy to get to. If I were to do it tomorrow, I'd be lowering the K member.
