Install eng with headers on???

Can I install the engine on the hook with the headers on?? I do have shorties so it shouldn't be too bad, it's not like with LTs. Please let me know as I'm trying to put it in on Friday. Thx

just measure how high top of the motor is now in your car. I used an engine hoist to lift the body, and a Semi truck transmission jack to hold the k-member and motor. I did this in my garage at home.

Hood is off and using an engine hoist to drop it in. Not doing it through the bottom. Anyone?
