guide my AS&M header install please

ok, so the headers are here and ready to be installed. everything is apart and at the end of the day we decided to spend the last 10 minutes figureing out how to get the passenger header in. we tried jacking the motor up and down and all around and have concluded that you can not install the passenger header from the top!
if you've installed these before, please give me some tips to try and make my life easier. i did search and did not find what i'm looking for.
thanks,
Michael

I have not installed AS&M headers, but I have taken them off. They will both come out the bottom, so I guess they would go back in the same way. I had to take out the starter, the oil filter and the alternator.

The passenger side won't go in from the top. It slide right in from the bottom though. Just toss it up there and be done with it.

Also, remember not to torque down the headers until after the Y-Pupe is on.

AS&M claims you can iinstall their headers with out lifting the engine. Try putting them in from the bottom.

This would be a true statement. The motor does NOT need to be jacked up.

alright, well i've got all the plugs out, the alternator is gone and the starter is out. i think we're gonna have to bolt the engine back into the mounts because it has shifted towards the passenger side. hopefully it'll just slide right in from the bottom after that.
thanks everyone
