Header nitemare

Can I relate to this WOW! I just pulled my headers for a blown gasket and missing bolt ,
it was on a duster with power steering. It turned into a 2 weekend job including finding all the parts I replaced since it had to unbolt both motor mounts. jack the motor until it hit the firewall The right side header needs to be unbolted too . Be sure to undo the tranny cooler lines if you have a automatic. I forgot to and broke the radiator fittings ( wacth the distibutor cap). Once the motor was up (both sides) I pushed the motor to the right of the engine compartment, I needed all the room I could get, the header would drop but was pinned by the steering gear so it had to come out also. I replaced the gear while I was at it.
Oh, the drag link had to come out. What a job!!!! I almost considered finding some manifolds but as long as I keep an eye on it check the bolts etc.....It should be ok?@#$%
I don't know how much of this applies to your car but maybe some of it will help.
