With the steering linkage, altenator, coil packs, valve covers, and motor jacked up as high as it could go (with the other bolt completely off) it was a tight squeeze. I did also have to use a 2x3 to move the motor over towards the passangers side. It will go just gotta put some elbow on it and wege it in there.
But please before you go any further line up the holes (or put the headers on your head upside down to see if the holes line up. Dont make the same mistake I did by not checking the flange holes and assuming that kooks got it right.

you will throw a air pump code if you dont have hp tuners or equivelant tuning software to edit it out. It will show up around every 1- 2 weeks depending how much you drive it . . .. or it did with my ta until I edited it out. You can just delete the codes if you dont have the tuning software but it will keep coming back.

Just call them and get the right headers. They make them with and without the air tubes and there are differences in the location of the tubes depending on your model year.

vendor is willing to help 
but hes saying he thinks it will pass aircare once the car is warm and the codes are deleted with the ls1 edit computer more opinions on that would be greatly appreciated....
will the car pass with these race headers...no exhaust gas recirculation connection???
