I blew a head gasket. I'm trying to get the intake manifold off but it seems to be in the way on two of its own bolts. Removed all vacuum hoses, fuel lines, exhaust manifold. Is their a way to pull it without removing the cylinder head with the intake manifold, collector and exhaust manifold assembly.

Umm... think it's a typo but you need to remove the head to get to the headgasket.

I think you are refering to pulling it all as one assembly ... and yes you can do that.

you have to remove the intake support brackets under the intake. there on both sides of the oil filter. ones got 3 bolt the other has 2 and is just like a rod with a bolt in both ends. then one half will fall away from the head making the intake able to come off,
