I have a theory that it may be possible or even easier to remove the manifolds from underneath the car if up on a ramp.  A theory I intend to put to test one day soon.  When the cats were off last I did manage to get my hands to all the nuts quite easily although it was a case of feeling rather than having eyes on at the same time.

I have some 2.6 manifolds here willing themselves to be put on the car  ::)
