I don't believe so, but I would tape it up thoroughly to avoid scratching it.

Check out the Under the Hood forum. Excellent write up w/pics under the FAQ.

It's a bitch alright. One of those simple tasks made difficult by limited access/rusty screws, etc.

It's not that bad. Just jack the car up really high and put the header in from the bottom. I found removing the right side engine mount made the install easy.
