A hoist helps the 70 yo+ bodies. So many jobs I would dread to think about become simple.
As for the WG and the lower valve cover - yes - you may have trouble removing the cover. It will depend on the length of the stud on the valve cover (nearest the WG). From memory I replaced that one with one a bit shorter. It will also depend on the configuration of the J pipe. You may get lucky.
Don't forget to run the engine for a minute or two before hand - to purge the crankcase of oil. (Or - jack the vehicle up on the side you are working on.) Yes it gets slightly warm - but by the time you pull the bits off it will be near room temp. Better than a face full of oil.
I haven't had to try lowering the engine, but I don't have all that smog crap.
Good luck. I still use the 4 thou feeler gauge method.
