Cylinder head removal ????

I'm about to remove the heads on my 94 6 speed and was wondering what the proper procedure was. It doesn't look too fun being that half the motor is under the cowl. Is there anything I should look out for or any tips that might make things easier.
Thanks,
Any help is greatly appreciated.

LOTS of patience. Not too hard. Get the manfiolds off, thats a little frustratiing. www.shbox.com has a good write up for when you are ready to remove the intake manifold. Its under the cam install guide. Im stuck in my removal because of a rounded off head bolt

It's a lot of fun, except for the coolant end of it.

Hey Rob, you think its nessecary to take the knock sensor out? I already took the block drain plug out, but there is more coolant coming out of the lower head bolts on the passanger side. I thought draining the one side would be good.

Actually, the knock sensor is easier to get out, so yes I would take it out too. Each side drains independently.
