I mean, like how do I get to the bolts on the passenger side since the elbow on the upper makes it almost impossible to reach.

yah, if you jack the car up far enough, you'll be able to see the bolts from the headers. they are way up there, but you will be able to reach them with an 18mm socket and a few extensions.

If you use an impact be careful, I broke the studs on the stock manifolds with an impact, of course they were original and had not been loosened in 14 years. You might want to try and spray some creeper oil on them if your reusing the stock manifolds.
