Droping motor in this weekend, have a ??

This is in my 92 camaro that has A/C. What I would like to know is if I can install my SLP 1 3/4" headers while the engine is on the stand or should I install the motor first then the headers once the motor is in the car? My worry is about damaging either the A/C or the header itself. Anybody has some experience that they can share.

Thanks

If they are shorty headers it really won't matter although I dropped in my shorties on my motor at the time and I found that they got in the way of me running the wires to the starter. but it seems everyone does it their own way.
