Head removal:

remove crank pulley (belts need to be removed first)
remove valve cover
remove timing belt covers
mark the timing belt and cams/crank sprocket if you're going to reuse the belt
loosen timing belt tensioner
remove timing belt
drain coolant
remove exhaust manifold
remove intake manifold
remove head studs
take off all coolant hoses that go to head
unplug all sensors that go to head

That should be it

I'd leave the whole head together when you take it down there. The shop I took it to wanted it all in one piece so they knew what goes where.
