After you remove the rest of the AIR system, there's still the metal pipe in a U-shape that goes under the crank hub in front of the oil pan. Its welded to a bracket that bolts to the block. Its easier just to cut the pipe to get it off.

If I cut it will it through a code, also do I need extenders for the o2 sensors?

Yes you need extensions. one at least 12" and one at least 18".

The pipe is just leftover from the AIR system. the only way to remove it is to cut in in one or more places.

Re: What Tools for Header install...

My dads garage has prolly 100k in tools and I think I used every one, but the best tool was my own foot, or maybe my skinny *** arms, or ............

You get the point, what works for one person may not work for another.

Why do you need to disconnect the battery?
