I had to remove the spark plugs, wires, dip stick tub, coil pack assembly, valve cover, then underneath I removed the exhaust of course, took the wires off of the starter, removed the starter, removed the grounding strap on the block, and unclipped the oxygen sensor connectors from the frame. Then just make sure you have the car jacked up pretty high and slide them in from the bottom. Also make sure not to reinstall the oxygen sensor until you have the header bolted in, it will just get in your way.
I probably will do the driver's side here in a few days & will keep ya'll updated.

BOTH go up from the bottom....with very little fanfare I might add.
I found the AR fitment and install to be very nice all things considered.
You should remove a few of the basic things in your way however like the oil filter, ground strap, and spark plugs....on the passenger side the removal of the starter will make it very easy but you can actually sneak them in without removing it if your careful. Make sure you remove the positive cable from the battery though. Thats especially important when working on installing the passenger side header.
Hope this helps...

Basically I installed the 1-7/8" ARH headers.. I started with the passenger side, the drivers side I haven't started on yet. Some say the headers go in from the top on the passenger side, but I had better luck from the bottom.
I had to remove the spark plugs, wires, dip stick tub, coil pack assembly, valve cover, then underneath I removed the exhaust of course, took the wires off of the starter, removed the starter, removed the grounding strap on the block, and unclipped the oxygen sensor connectors from the frame.
