Default can I take head back off?

ok I am curently changing a blown head gasket on my 85 civic hb. I just put the head back on yesterday, got it all torqed and everything. But when I tryed to put my exaust manifold back on I for got that while disacembling 2 of the 3 bolts holding on the left side broke and are still in there. There is almoste zero room between the radiator and the head.
So right now I only have one bolt holding on the left side and I am almoste compleetly done putin it back together and need to know what to do before I go the rest of the way.

Head gaskets cannot be reused after they have already been compressed.
