Mel to add to Mike's list, I would offer the
following; 

3. It accounts for half of the weight of the car. So,
even after you loosen all the bolts, gravity will try
to keep it in place. Keeping this in mind, be prepared
for teasing from the machine shop workers when you
tell them it is from a "sports car". 

5. When the time comes, use the archives to help you
decide what you want to do with your valve guides.
