Don't disconnect the exhaust manifold from the head. Just disconnect the exhaust pipe from the header. You may have to disconnect it farther back, as well and remove it completely to get it out of your way. I don't. I just pull it down out of the way but I work on commission so I try to find all the short cuts I can. You may have to disconnect the motor mounts, though, and raise the engine up just a little so it will clear the bell housing on the transmission and the front axle.
