Do the headers actually have to be removed for the job? Or can I get away with just taking off the mid-pipes? I only had to do the midpipes for my axle removal.

Time is sort-of on my side. The problem will be if my car gets stuck on the lift for an extended time, as it's not my lift. I want to be able to knock out the job in one weekend.

No need to take the headers off unless you are replacing them. BTW don't remover the slave cylinder and then try the clutch you will have brake fluid all over the place. there is no clutch fluid it uses the brake master cylinder tank for it's source. A stiff clutch usually means that its time to replace.
