How high do your jackstands go? The higher the better.

height?
Sure, in fact it makes it easier to stand in the engine compartment and clean
things up when you don't have to bend over in there.
What I usually do is jack the car all the way up to undo everything, then drop
the front end down to a lower level so I don't have to tilt the engine as much
when I'm taking it out. Then I put the front end back up again.

Invite some friends over. ;-)
Soak the bolts that connect the header/exhaust manifold to the exhaust pipe with
WD-40 or CRC. These are usually very badly corroded.
