Here's a bit of information that should help Header Install.
<edit>
The hardest part of the install:
1. Accessing to a couple of bolts on the passenger side (top middle and front). The OEM exhaust manifolds come off without much issue it's the headers that makes getting to some of the bolts interesting.
2. The heat shields have been problems for quite a few, in my experience taking your time and pulling them out from the rear of the engine it takes maybe 5 minutes each, bend and twist them they will come out in one piece.
If you want to undo the motor mounts and raise the engine a hoist it would make it easier. There really isn't a need for that. You will need to jack-up the car; with all the bending and twisting you do the higher it's off the floor the easier it is on your body. You don't have to jack-up all 4 corners but I would recommend it. I used 4 - 4 ton jack stands just because they gave me 23" of clearance from the floor. 2 ton jack stands will work fine but normally they don't have the height the 4 tons do.
Some folks took off the oil filter to ease access to some of the bolts. I worked around the oil filter, it's tight but it can be done without removing it.
The oil dip stick is another point of contention. Only one nut holds it on but getting in out and back in is a pain. Take your time, you have to pull it out sideways towards the rear of the car and then you’re able to pull it out. Again just take your time and use a few four letter words on it. Having another pare of hands would help.

. Your headers should come with a spacer that goes between that bolt and the header.
