I took off the distributor coil wire and the J-boot and put a jack under the bellhousing and jacked the engine up, which tilted it forwards, allowing me to get a 10mm socket on a set of extensions onto the sensors no problem. I have big hands too and it was not difficult once I got at them. The distributor coil wire came off as it gets close to the headlight bar when I jacked the motor up and the J boot came off because it starts to bend when you move the motor that much, and I didn't want it to crack.
I do not think it would be worth taking the intake off as you would have to disconnect the fuel lines, vac lines on the bottom (a pain) and then get new intake gaskets to reassemble.
I spent about a half hour staring at the sensor area just planning my method of attack, moving things around, etc.
