putting the car on jackstands, will make life much easier for you, unless you weigh 60 lbs.

also, are you gonna get a straight pipe or a new cat? b/c you're gonna have to keep the cat on (which comes after the header)

make sure you can loosen the bolts that connect the cat and the headers, they can be pretty hard to loosen, spray some WD-40.

make sure you don't get anything in you eye when working under the car, wear some protective glasses or be very careful.
gloves can help prevent busted knuckles also
