Default PRB Kicked my ***

I failed my 1st attempt of removing the type s mani, i only had two bolt left [the ones under the mani]. There was just no way i could have done it. Radiator gave me no space at all.. any advise ?

You have to get to them from underneath the car also in order to take off the the manifold it self you going to have to remove the two studs that remain that hold the manifold in place, off the head itself.......
