Default Long tube header install on jack stands, 02' z28. Need advice tips or tricks

So tomorow it appears i'll be helping my buddy w/ his headers on this z28. I just need tips tricks and advice of the easiest way to go about this. What all should we get out of the way first? I see the filter dryer and the A/C lines are in the way on the passenger side amongst other things. Then on the driver side the steering knuckle, and WTH w/ that rear bolt?

I would consider changing your motor mounts for some poly ones to prevent sagging and having your Y-Pipe bang the floorboard!

Done, im guessing not a whole lot of people tempt this task themselves and take it to a shop? I'll admit its not as bad as it looked however the 2 center bolts on the passenger side can only be tightened with a 10mm closed end wrench on the long tubes b/c of the position of the air injection. The air injection system is a pain on the long tubes b/c its in a tough spot to get a wrench on and the drivers side we had to disconnect the steering linkage. The front o2's are definetly no where close to the factory spot so obviously the wires needed extended and that was about it.
