    Pry it off lol. But in all reality it's probably going to be a little stuck being sealed on there for 20 years

          They are a lot less flexible than you think. Try to get at them if you can and it'll make it easier. This is probably one of the most annoying jobs this car. I pulled the motor instead lol

                  LOL, first time took around 5 hours, now I can do it in 20 minutes.

                  Theres 1 bolt at the back bracing the brake/clutch booster lines that usually people don't see. Other then that you should have 12 nuts from the manifold to head, 2-3 bolts for fuel lines, 4 for vacuum block, 2 for brace for brake/clutch boost lines.... thats all off memory, I may be missing 1 or 2!!!

                    This might help.






                    Upside down but you can see here all the bolts you need to remove.

                    remove bolts, leave a couple in loose and with a hammer just give it a tap or two. should come loose without much effort.
                    Leaving a couple bolts in place will just let it come loose and anything that's caught in it wont fall and get swallowed by some crevice
