Advice?

Alright well soon I am going to be replacing the manifold gaskets in my 2.8 Firebird. I have everything on the car and it is completly stock with AC. So there is alot to remove to get at the bolts right? Anyone know exactly what i need to do. Some bolts are snapped off. But i plan off heating them up with a torch and then trying to get them out. What do you guys think? Will this work?

Don't heat the bolt, but the metal around it. Also, I know that there is a tool for getting bolts out.

If you have the money though, and your first couple of attempts fail, just find a professional to do it for you. There is nothing worse than fighting with those bolts for a day, and at the end of the day you've made no progress and you're more frustrated than ever.
