I thought I read in one of your old posts that you had a 97. If that is the case, remove the passenger side valve cover and that should give you just enough clearance to snake that header in thru the top. As for the steering linkage, its a matter of removing the bolt and pulling it up and off.

honestly, i did it a different way that worked too. there are a number of ways to do it. i loosened up the motor mounts one side at a time and tilted the engine to fit the headers in. it was easy but i have never tried the other ways.

Sorry, I should have pluraled that. I took off both the top bolt and the bottom bolt and then slide the linkage off.

I had to play around with the angles, it took awhile. The passenger side is a PITA.
