the header takes up less space than the stock manifold, you should be fine. Since there is no heat shield around the header, it isn't as bulky as the manifold.

Be careful with the nuts & studs that mount the header to the block.
I borrowed my son's air compressor & impact wrench to break loose the rusted flange bolts on the cats.
At the least, try to use good quality 6 point sockets.
I home made a heat shield from some 18Ga steel.
