You'll have to take the distributor out to get the intake manifold off and you'll need to remove all the rockers and pushrods from the head you're working on for removal of the upper head bolts. After the head is back in place you'll have to rotate the engine by hand and adjust the lifter preload / lash on each rocker and reset the timing after the distributor is back in place.
