It might help if you're a bit more specific...type of shorty headers, where they're obstructed, define "left" side, etc.

Did you remove the serpentine belt along with the alternator? This allowed me more room to work with. I removed the belt, alt, coil packs, and valve cover. Also fuel line removal also helps.

Really? Because if your standing in front of the car the left side is the passangers.

I have been working on cars for over 40 years and I was taught the right side is the passenger side and the left side is the drivers side. I have never had a problem using this analogy.

In all the years I've working on cars it never occurred to me that the left side could be the right side.
