Default DOHC ZC oil pan / 4-2 headers in the way need suggestions

Long story short, I smacked a softball sized rock going 35 and my oil pan is leaking.
I got a new oil pan/gasket, removed all the nuts and bolts...easy.
I have 4-2 headers on (which I'm aware I need to remove to get the pan out)
But where the two parts of the header meet/ bolt together are ceased!! Rusted heat ten+ years!
I unfortunately don't have access to a torch
Looking for suggestions to "easily" remove the down pipe (2)

Thankfully I was able to release the headers from the block to create just enough room to replece the oil pan
