Heres some pictures on the drivers side header. I had to redo the #1 primary. I bought a 2" mandrel J-bend and U-bend. I only ended up using the J-bend.
I did all the work with the motor and headers in the car. I didn't want to drop the motor/trans/k-member to do this. However, If I ever need to take the drivers side header off I will have to drop the motor.
What I did was bolted the headers up with 2 bolts and then made my marks at my cut points. I took the headers out and made both cuts. Then I put the headers back in. I unbolted both the bolts holding my rack and pinion in place and slid it over to where it was easy to mount the steering linkage. Once I had that bolted on, I bolted the rack and pinion back in place.
I started from the top and just worked my way back to where I had made the bottom cut. I wasn't exactly pleased with one connection but I don't think there will be any noticeable performance loss. I also had to lightly hammer on primaries # 2 & 4 to make everything fit. I think I've got a minimal amount of grinding on the steering linkage and I'll be done. All I've got now is to bolt everything down tight and to paint #1 primary and I'll be over this hurdle.
I'd say the difficulty on a scale of (1-10) it was about a 7. I can't weld so I had to have someone come by and do that for me. Other than that its not that difficult. I just know it was a little tricky using the wire welder and getting to those tight spots.
