Headers?

I have a 1991 Camaro and I just got it running the other day but it is missing the EGR lines so I thought about just going ahead and getting new headers but first wanted to check and see how easy they are to install and how the ground clearence is on that. any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, my main goal right now is just to get it out on the roads so the headers would most likely just be part time untill I find the ones that i actually want so should I go ahead and buy the headers im looking at now and then swap once I find better or just go ahead and buy some EGR lines for now?

Shorties = same ground clearance. As long as you get the exhaust buttoned up the way it should you won't lose anything really.

LongTubes = lost ground clearance, this depends heavily on how good the Y-pipe is, or how good your exhaust guy is at fabricating one.

T5 and T56 cars that use the hawks LT swap crossmember have a much easier time tucking it up. But automatics don't leave enough room to run the pipes in the same place.
