Default clutch replacement with full length headers

How hard is it to replace clutch with bbk longtubes? Harder or the same?

I dont get the last joke. Im imagining that it would be easier to pull the motor rather than the trans itself??? I am just curious because I bought the car with the long tubes on it. Kidding aside can it be done on the floor in the garage or should I just bite the bullet and pay for it to be done???

Depending on the headers you buy, it may be insanely hard to change the clutch. I've been told MAC is easiest but when I assembled my motor and trans (outside the car) I couldn't imagine trying to maneuver the trans around the headers.

Besides, it'll give me an excuse to paint my engine bay, lol.

Yeah, that's not going to happen, lol. Maybe if I had an aftermarket K member.
