Default 66 Header installation

Hey people.
Well I'm still in high school and this 2891966 mustang is my first car.
I got a pair of headers for christmas and wanted to see if anyone had any experience installing them.
It looks like the power stiring asembaly might need to get moved.

Yeah, i believe you must purchase a thing called a power steering lowering bracket. It's in most parts catalogs, like mustangs unlimited.

u dont nessecerly have to lower it, depends on what header you got. i got some long tube tri-y hookers and didnt need to. had to undo the motor mounts and prop the engine up on a 2x4 with a jack but didnt need to dink around with the power steering bracket. but that was me, like i said, what headers did u get?
