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

Yepper X2 on the dipstick, and also on getting the wiring apart beind the heads.
Other than that was rather simple

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.
