Taking off the hood only invites paint scratches. You'll probably need a buddy for that anyway so use him to help with the manifold. You probably won't need him though. I managed myself a couple of years ago and I was 68 at the time. Probably did about what vidguy suggests. I was surprised that the manifold was worse that the heads. I sure wouldn't use my wife as some have suggested. It would take more time to explain what I needed than to do it myself.
