Help removing driver side head

I gave a '66 273, with power steering. Block number 2465330, head number 2658920. I managed to get the passenger side off with out too much trouble, but this driver side is causing some troubles. My hands are bloody and bruised so before I started breaking things I thought I would ask ya'll for the insider tricks. What is the best way to do this? I think I have to remove the exhaust headers, but it is hard to remove the bolts that hold the headers to the collectors. Any insight?
