Installing A/T cooling lines

[Dustyrides]

Hello,
I'm installing new steel A/T cooling lines and wondering if anyone with experience can say if I will need to remove TTI header to get them in place. I don't remember exactly how the originals were routed and don't have a good picture to go by.
Thanks

Do you have a Factory service manual? They hug the driver's side of the block, with a
clip at the bell housing face. The headers shouldn't be in the way.

The headers shouldn't be in the way.

Has it been awhile for you?
It depends on the headers but yeah....they are often in the way either near the starter or the transmission pan rail. Maybe just unbolting the header may be enough to shift things around well enough.

That picture actually made me bust out laughing!!!!! Like I was there.

You will have a tight fit being very close to headers

I'll try dropping the tie rod and loosening the headers. Thanks for the input!

Wrap the lines with heat guard by the headers

Good idea, thanks!

Disconnect the battery so you don't make a connection when you are wiggling the new lines in.

And height is your friend. Get that baby elevated.
