Very Easy with Basic Hand tools and a good set of Jackstands.

Not hard. Helps if you have a second set of hands though to help position the header onto the block.

I'd have to say installing headers on a new Camaro are by far some of the easiest I've ever installed.

Easy, an extra set of hands, a way to get it up in the air (jackstands, lift, ramp) and some air tools and you are good to go!

Ditto on everyone's comments. I was worried about the 02 sensor removal given some of the horror stories. But I rented a 7/8 02 removal kit from Autozone free with a deposit. That socket along with a 3/4" ratchet made easy work of the removal. I also used the tutorial from camaromodz.com

If you need to install the headers by yourself then buy some extra long bolts and cut the heads off. Install a few of them and then you can rest your headers on them while you install the correct header bolts.
