1987 firebird spark plugs

Hey guys i have an 87 firebird 305 4bbl and have been having alot of starting problems lately im pretty sure that the spark plugs are the original ones because the previous owner (my uncle) never changed them. the plugs look hard to get to except the 1st and 2nd cylinder i was wondering if you guys know an easy way or trick to get the rest of the plugs out.

I have found it handy to have a few different extensions, a u-joint swivel and also jacking the car up and putting it on jack stands. Especially on the passenger side the plugs are hard to get to from the top.
