of course, just do a search around on the boards and its def possible to do it. it might be a little tougher to get those suckers in but i heard its easier to put them in from underneath teh car by just unbolting hte starter but i guess its different for everyone. as for me personally i'm ripping out my ac for the more room since i just put top down if it gets too hot anyways
good luck with the headers let us know how it went
good luck with the headers let us know how it went i honestly might get it done professionaly seeing how i dont have access to a car lift. and there doesnt seem to be a way t just drop them in without taking tha a/c out. ill when once they get here "hopefully tomarrow"
You don't need to permanently remove it and when I did mine the first time I just unbolted the compressor, moved it to the side and installed it when I was done. On my Edelbrock's they included spacers to reinstall the AC mounting brackets with.
thats a good thing. cause im getting the edelbrock. so how are they?? ive heard some good things about them. i cant wait to get mine and put them on. what headers did you get? model i mean. #6875???? or #68751 <chrome ones> i went with chrome, but i plan on dressing the engine up a lil so thats why i went with them...was it horribly hard to install?

do you have a sbc if so it's so easy
all you have to do is take the lock washers that you have and use them to thicken the bolt so the bracket will fit.
the lock washers should come with the hedders
the problem is that the manfold bolt is too long compaired to the hedder bolt and you will have to use a old manifold bolt(one of the longer ones)
just make sure you loosen the belt b4 you start
also you might want to invest in a die grinder to get the back 2 passenger bolts bc its not possible with the airbox in the way to get a ratchet in there and if you use a rench you will strip the bolts just grind the long part off the stud/bolt
if you have anymore questions please post>
