Well, keep in mind that WIS and most shop manuals are not written from the angle that, I have this monkey wrench and a bent screw driver and want to replace my headgasket. A car hoist is usually also a requirement following WIS even though they don't state in clear text.
1/4" extensions with a 13mm wobble socket goes a long way in this scenario.
With that you can snake it in from above through the intake manifold and get the socket over the bolt heads. I just loosen the engine harness bracket and fuel rail just to give me little bit of wiggle room but I don't remove them.
I leave the intake in place and when putting it back together, I get all the bolts in there and hang the intake gasket on the bolts and very carefully get the head back in without disturbing anything.
