I had to remove the valve covers to get the B&B shorties in from the top.

Give Nate at XTREME a call in the morning. I bet he'll be glad to tell you how to do it without disassembling the engine.

Drivers side... leave all the crap on (alternator, valve covers, etc.. and put the header in from the bottom.. super easy.!
Passenger side .. remove valve cover, coil packs, and spark plugs.. drop header in from the top. no need to drop the starter..
I've put on 6 or so sets this way, works for me. Just my .02

Re: Good Gawd I need some header installation help! (Mag Red Monster)
To get the driver's side in from the top, remove the following:
Fuel rail cover
Coil pack
Alternator (2 bolts)
Valve Cover
Air Tube
Steering shaft nut at the base (13mm)
Then, just move the steering shaft out of the way by putting it parallel almost with the windshield washer reservoir. Should drop right in. Worked for me the past 4 times :)

Removeing valve covers is a must...and the trick to the drivers side is use a 4' long 2x2 to pry up the front side of the engine (the motor mounts give a little) and they slip right in!
