You might want to extend past Sunday and Monday without any form of lift.
I put in leave from Sunday-Wednesday at noon. So with or without any help it will be done by tuesday night haha. I have been told it's about a 9-10 hour job without a lift, so im figuring 14-15 cuz thats how these things always go

They are a pain to do. I did my GT350 and I used a quick jack lift to get it off the ground about 20”. Still a pain.

Dropping the kmember the work is more kmember related and is supposed to make the header work quicker with less chances of stripped bolts.
Raising is how many weird angles and semi solid tool face connections and loads of patience do you want to have.
Shooters choice, I dropped the k and supported the engine using a engine support brace and that appears to be the Tmo preferred method

Hmmm.... I've seen a few header installs for the S550 and none required or even mentioned removal of the K-member.
OP has no lift. All those installs are showing installations from a lift. When installing from the ground and putting in long tubes, it's easy to run out of space. Install videos don't show you all the swearing involved... there are hints in all three videos about where the pitfalls are. Availability of tools is important with header installs... Extensions, joints, stubbies, various socket depths, etc. always helpful with limited access areas.
