Scott......
I found that the easiest way to bolt up the headers is to do it as the engine is being installed. I did this with my 390/4spd combo into my 67 Cougar GT. I don't know if this will work with a C6 or not but with my combo, the headers bolt up easily with the engine/tranny about 2/3rds installed. I would rather pull the engine/tranny to swap headers than go through the PITA that installing headers with the engine IN the car........9.5 hrs of contorting, twisting, bleeding and swearing vs. about 8 hrs of pulling and reinstalling the engine and bolting up the headers.....NO CONTEST!
The header bolts are pretty easy to access with the engine at a workable position partially out of the car.
Good Luck,
