Oil filter adapter question...

I need to replace the gasket for the oil filter adapter on my 72 Cutlass Supreme (455). How much of a hassle is it to get the adapter off? Note: it has headers.

That shouldn't be difficult. Its like three bolts. In my experience, the adapter needs to be removed for the installation of headers in some cases. Should be no worries.
