I'm not sure if I understand exactly what you're asking but I got a little trick i use on head jobs in the shop, I pull the head bolts first and related parts until the head is free of the block, I get a helper to pull the head up and I put to wooden blocks in between the head and the block. Then I use the space I now have between the block and head to access the intake bolts that are hard to get to otherwise. Then i leave the intake and related parts in the car.
This trick saves alot of time..
