Do I must remove the drivers side header?

I am beginning to take out the starter motor (it is a 1998 Dakota style) and before I get into it I would like to know if anyone has removed this style of starter from the engine. It is a 360 small block and it has the power steering. The headers are from Hooker 1 5/8 diameter.
I was wondering if the drivers side header has to come out, or at the most loosed up.
Thank you in advance....................Ted
