If the headers are coated and the wires don't touch them you'll be fine. With uncoated headers, I'd run heat shields at least on the plug wire boots.
For what it's worth, when I went from manifolds to headers I picked up a set of cut-to-length wires with 90* boots and ran the wires UNDER the headers and around the back of the heads. It's a much cleaner look and it keeps the wires off the primary tubes.
