unbolt the stock header, put on the new one and connect the 02 sensor. If you have the tools it is a easy project.

maybe the fans but i don't think you need to removed the radiator. you might be able to wiggle it out. also, be careful with the bolts and studs, they tend to get stuck and are sometimes broken.

if you bought good headers then no you won't, also if you bought a 2 piece header set it is easier to install

You'll be fine. Lube up the nuts w/wd-40 wipe em down and get a 12mm socket and go to work. Ypu won't need to take anything out there is plenty of room.

Oh and don't forget to get some zipstrips to hold the springs closed that connect between the bolts of the manifold and the cat. There a bitch to put on if you don't have anything to keep them closed while you mate the nut and bolt.
