The trick is to also take off the support bracket on the bottom that is also attached to the block. Look right above your oil filter.

i know it is pain in the butt to remove intake manifold cause i just replaced mine too..took me and a friend 1 hour to get it out and 45 mins to get it in with power tools..

Untamed_Hatred

i got all the bolts out that need to be taken out but the manifold is still stuck to the head. i have tried banging on it, prying on it but its still stuck, and is it completely necessary to take it off wwhen replacing a head gasket

u dont have to remove the Intake mani, 2 replace a head gasket just unbolt the garmets, on the valve cover and get to the head bolts

Untamed_Hatred

the intake manifold has somehow welde3d itself to the head soi never mind all that not coming off anyways unless i feel like breaking something

If it for a head gasket, you won't have to remove the manifold from the head. You will need to take the under support off as well as the coolant lines.

As stated you don't need to remove the intake manifold, but it sounds like you missed the nut in the middle (it's behind the black hose, you can see the bottom half of it):
