Ken,

I am running stock exhaust manifolds on my '69 and over the years I have had them off many times. I think there is plenty of room on the passenger side to drop headers in from the top (unless you have A/C). The drivers side is another story. With PS and PB the exhaust manifold must come up from the bottom. And to be honest it is always, turn it slightly this way, push toward front as you turn slightly the other way, and sometimes they line right up. The other times, not so much.

It is a PITA (Rich can add this to his computer lingo list) especially if you are working on your back. Would definitely be a lot easier on a lift. Maybe after market headers would be easier, but for some reason, I don't think so.
