Irate Fuel system install?

Hey Guys, I've got a pretty good list of upgrades going in the truck and one of them is the Irate fuel system. I'm basically at step one on the fuel system and ran into a pinch, my question is: when installing the 90* fitting at the back of the drivers side head, do I need to remove the up-pipes? There doesn't seem to be enough room to turn the fitting. I'm hoping a total removal isn't necessary.

Question #2: Years ago when I installed the Riff Raff FRx I cross threaded the fitting in question #1 (Yay Me!). What size tap will I need for that?

Thanks Everyone!

I think you can install that fitting with a crow's foot, that's how I did my FRx install. What year? I seem to recall some grinding of the turbo was needed to get the fitting in on early years.
