Chrome headers and side pipes would look so narley on your car. I think the experts here will tell you that you can block off the tubes and dis- connect the air pump. I think Rich has his set up so they look like they are funtioning but fake. You can squeeze them off untill engine rebuild time.
And I bet they will be a mother to get out! did they say anything ez outs and retaping the threads?

About a year ago I had a pesky exhaust leak that I couldn't figure out.
Turned out the studs that hold the donut between the pipes and the manifolds needed replacing. (They had been worked with in the past due to installing the true duals.)
Just food for thought as you (or they) begin to dig in to it.
