Default Help with installing headers

I cant seem to get access to a few of the bolts holding the catpipe to the headers. The subframe is in the way on both sides, and the oil lines, on passenger side. Does the subframe have to be lowered to get access? Can the header and cat come out one piece? Did you have to drain oil and remove the lines and starter?
Any info would help.
Thanks

Depends on which headers. I just installed ts headers and just removed the starter. No oil line removal necessary. I have heard you have to disconnect it for others. As for the cat pipes that connect to the exhaust manifolds I removed the nuts then took out the front studs to be able to slide the pipe off on the passenger side.
