Removing engine from top... Do I need to remove headers?

Pulling my motor from the top tomorrow. I have Pacesetter longtube headers and was wondering if it is possible to just unbolt the headers and move them to the side a few inches, or do I need to fully remove the headers to pull the motor from the top?

We pulled mine out with STOCK manifolds attached, but thats not where near longtubes. I think iv heard other people (outside of this thread) say to just lay them off to the side.
