R55 Non Turbo Need Advice on Installing Headers

2008 R55 Mini Cooper non turbo (with exhaust on the front side bumper side of engine)

How do I get enough clearance for the catalytic converter to lift up and out? I can't get it out. I really don't want to have to put it in front end service mode, would rather tilt engine back. Does anyone have any ideas on how to use straps and hold the engine back by loosening the engine mounts? Or just jacking it up?
