Just lift it & the wiring loom out of the way and tie it out of the way while you do the gasket, removal would need the a/c de-gassing. I nicked Entwood's idea, and tied  it to the bonnet strut fitting.  :y :y :y

rocker gaskets aren't as difficult as it made out. Just be methodical, and make sure the D on the gasket sits corerectly in the cut out at the back of the head. Use black goo where applic & don't swing off the securing bolts - 8Nm is little more than a nip
