Cursing, swearing, icy hot for your back, massage, yoga, the usual.
Warm engine? No. Those will be hot!
PB blaster is likely a must. Start spraying it as often and as early as you can before you start working on it.
Lots of different wobbly extensions and end wrench shapes helps.
They'll be studs in the head, expect some to come out with the nuts frozen in place. Buy new hardware.
Most of all, removing the starter, oil filter and alternator will really help when it comes to the bottom ones.
Plan on breaking the downpipe studs or stripping those nuts as they'll have taken a beating.
Inspect and/or replace the wiring to the starter/alternator since it runs right along the block behind the manifold. The passenger motor mount also fails pretty often and the only replacement is from VibraTech which Ideola sells.
Finally, while it is off, it's a good time to have it and the downpipe cleaned up and ceramic coated inside and out. That should help reduce heat in the engine bay/cabin and more heat in the exhaust should help with power a little as well.
