manifold removal

I reinstalled my air tubes but i can't get one on the driver side to sit down right so i want to take off the manifold. my question is how difficult it is to do this. I have the chilton manual but that makes everything easy with phrasing like "installation is the reverse of removal"... . So my main question is how difficult will it be to get to all the bolt on the manifold to get it off and back on?

Driver side......easy as pie. Just watch for those damn tabs they used to keep the bolts from backing out. In all, you could probably remove one in about 30 minutes. You may want to put some penitrating oil on the bolts also, they may be stuck in the head.

Good luck.
