labor time help/survey

ok, worked on plenty of SBC's in my time, but Im a dealership tech and looking for a labor quote to replace some iron heads on a 350 in a 69 camaro for a customer. the car has headers. my mitchel on demand doesnt go back that far.
'
74 shows 9.0 hours plus some extra's for diff. things probably not on this car.
what Im not famaliar with is the header fitment on these cars. is there enough room to unbolt the headers, pull them outward and get to the cyl. head bolts? while the headers are still in the car? I know they snake around the steering gear and stuff and not sure if they'll just come out on the hoist, or if you gotta raise the eng. off the frame? but if there is enough room to just slide them outward and get to those outside head bolts I wont worry bout it.

thanks in advance for any tips/help/recomendations.

Yes, the headers should move enough to get at the head bolts with the front hangers loose. If it has any.
