Head removal question

I just did a head gasket change on my 69 barracuda 440 with Schumaker tri-Ys. I pulled the header on the passengers side. Pretty easy, two extra bolts and a flange gasket. As I looked at the driver side, I decided to not even attempt it. I then reassembled the engine. The lower head bolts looked impossible to get at and to remove the header would mean removing the steering column. I did not think of rolling the engine to the side. Good luck,
Andy
