For those who have done the header removal, would you think there would be any benefit to removing the cam covers first?

Cam towers? Yes. Cam covers? Nope. You don't gain any clearance worth speaking of, and you run the risk of debris finding its way into parts of the engine it shouldn't be in.

Thanks Joachim.... that's the answer I was looking for.  I thought about the ramifications of having the cover opened up and all kinds of nasty stuff getting in there, but if it was going to make the header removal a LOT easier to deal with it would have been worth it.  If it's not going to make much difference, then it doesn't make sense like you said.
