Question Strut Bar in the Way?

I have a few things to install this week on my days off.

The List:

GMP Manifold
B&M Short Shifter
DC Sport Strut Tower Brace

So, the real question here is...

If I install the strut bar first will this make it any harder to install the manifold. Anyone else have done these two mods at the same time?

id say do the strut brace afterwards, wouldn't you have more space to work that way?

do the manifold first. the strut bar will make it more difficult to get your arms down behind the engine to get the manifold bolts.

Thanks alot. +rep for the help. I thought it would be best to do the manifold first. I'll take it for a ride with the new manifold on. Then I'll put the shifer in, drive it, then strut bar, drive it. Hellz yea baby!

+ rep for everyone who answered. Thanks for the help.
