LG header install
I have a set of LG street headers coming for my '02, was wondering if anyone has any short cuts, make sure you don't, or just some pointers to make the install go smooth? Any web pages for install for '02 or later C5's out there?

I'd love to install my LG LTs when i get them by myself but i'm not mechanically inclined so i gotta pay a local shop $300 to do it for me, 
. At least i know it will be done right with them.

Under vette links there is a tech page w/ a multi-page, photo-inclusive step-by-step procedure. *Very* good.
After reading the above and the ls1howto.com one I decided to forgoe a shop install and do it in my garage when our LG's get here in March.
The only 'troubling' part seems to be getting your car up in the air 18-20" to get the drivers side in from the bottom. I read a thread yesterday where a guy said he took off oil filter and his drivers side dropped in nicely from the top (with valve covers/coil packs removed). I might give that a shot too.
