hey, i'm from buffalo too. grand island actually. i just did plugs a week ago. my brother and i did them in about 3 hours with a couple breaks to cure stiff necks and flaring tempers. we got all of them off from under the car except 1 without removing anything. on the top, i removed the air intake tube up to the throttlebody. i removed the ARC plastic cover and yanked all of those wiring harnesses and vacuum lines over the ARC to hold them out of the way. my bro did the driver side plugs himself from underneath. on the pass. side we had to hand the ratchet back and forth from top to bottom quite a bit. we got the back 2 on the pass. side from underneath. the front plug on the pass. is a pain in the ***. it took some wrestling with the boot. here's what i used to get the plug out. plug socket with a built in swivel(4.00 at autozone, it's a neccesity), long 3/8 extension, a swivel, then another 3/8 extension. be careful and go slow with stubborn plugs. this may be a strange way compared to others on the site, but it worked for me and i didn't have to rebuild my engine to do it. good luck!
