just unbolt the header from the head (like 7 nuts) and then
go under the car, remove the bolds that connect the header to the downpipe but leave one on there loose (to hold it up for step 3) then you
go back behind the oil pan and remove the 2 bolts that hold the pipe up near the flexpipe/oil pan
after this you can remove that one loose bolt and lower the downpipe enough to remove the header from the engine.
For clearance you probably need to take off the radiator (just remove the 4 10mm nuts that hold the corners of the metal top plate on to the car and the 2 in the middle for the hood latch, then remove the 2 coolant hoses and the tranny lines if you have an automatic trans, don't unbolt the a/c condensor. Unplug the fans and pull the whole thing up. If the Power Steering hose gets in your way take off the hose fitting from the pump, it' held on by 2 10mm bolts)
