The scope is pretty obvious when you look under there at where the manofold studs and crossover pipe joints are. I'm a huge fan of pulling the engine for this one. That solves a lot of issues, prevents a lot of swear words, and gives a nice opporunity to clean up other sins of the past. It will often end up being less work in the long run. Obviously the biggest worry is snapping off the tiny 7 mm studs that are threaded into the aluminum head. Failing that, use liberal doses of PB blaster on all the connections for a day or three before you start, be ready with a torch to heat things up, be very careful when unscrewing things, and hope that you don't break off any of the ones that are impossible to get to with a drill. Handy tools include a stud remover.
