83 280zx intake/exhaust manifold gasket replacement

I am looking at buying a 280zx 2+2 tomorrow. It has an exhaust manifold leak at 180k. I've looked online and a few people are saying it is very difficult. How hard is it really? I currently am building a twin turbo LS from scratch so I am capable but I just don't have a lot of time to devote to it. Please help me asap and really do love the 280zx look and style. Thanks in advance.

Just cumbersome, since the intake sits right on top of it. I do absolutely recommend soaking all the bolts in PB blaster as I remember a few of mine ended up snapping off thanks to years of water coming in through the hood vent.
