installing headers, last minute advice?

I'll be installing my dynomax headers friday night, I checked a couple of the manifold bolts and they came out fine (had new had gaskets about 40,000 miles ago.

I was wondering it anyone had any good tips to give me before I start......how many bolts are in the manifold anyways?

I'd pull the car up on ramps first to get the y pipe off before you go takin off the manifolds.

I took off the drivers side valve cover, I used a 2x4 to GENTLY push the AC to make room for the passenger side; it was still a S.O.B. I installed both headers from the top.
