If you want to wait for next weekend, you could order this and make your job go a lot smoother-

I am 95% sure that I will get one for my tiny garage... I am sick and tired of having no room to jack a car up and no room to move should the car decide to fall off the jacks. Others on this forum have had great success with this lift.

first off. get 1 3/4 headers. those are to big if you have a stock 346
2nd. they go in from top. remove the valve covers, oil filter and alternator. they will fall right it. put the O2's in once they are in, or they will never fit. i tired

One tip is to make sure you get the car a good 3' off the groud if you decided to install from the bottom.

I installed ARH 1-3/4 and they both went in from the bottom. Didn't even need to remove starter. Gotta remove alternator only - no valve covers.

odd, i nev er removed the starter. and i think going from teh top on your feet is better than laying on your back working with no room. but thats just me. and it takes a total of 15 min to pull teh alternator and valve covers

got em on pita
passenger side I had to remove starter and lift the engine because of the pressurized a/c line no way from the bottom had to go down from the top cajun site was very helpful thank you all who replied I put 1 7/8 with a 3" cross pipe used the stock titainium exhaust. nice mello sound at idle and then comes to life. alright Ill bet the a&a procharger will be a much easier install than them headers were. I better get started. Later Eric
