Remember, you are working up through the steering linkage and it must be set in the perfect position to get the starter out from below.
Thankfully, I did it with the manifolds removed..........from the top........a pleasure.........but, you still have to get underneath and fight the two 12mm cap screws that hold the starter to the bell housing. They can strip if you're unlucky.

Brian, you're right about those cables, but that's not the only way. you can leave the cables on the starter and disconnect them at the terminal block. Also, loosening and moving the exhaust pipe is actually pretty easy, and gives you some of the room there you really need.
