By the way the secondary air hoses have to come off and its best if you have access to an compressed air to use an air chisel to loosen them up. if not then use a chisel and a hammer.
Do that first then heat the vehicle up, then take out the nuts to the exhaust manifold to catalytic converter nuts. alot of times the nuts come out with the studs. its always best to replace the studs and the nuts to eliminate problems later on. But doing it cold will snap the studs and you will be taking them out with a drill.
if you can take out the air in the front tires for a little extra room and take off the pan cover on the bottom so you can find anything lost on the ground. Take off the steering shock on the front to remove the cover.
