I would say it could be pulled with the manifolds and separated from the exhaust. But it will make it heavier and it is a very heavy head without that stuff. You say the car is already on a flat bed, so you really don't have much of a place to stand when working, especially when trying to lift off that head. Can you get an engine lift that will lift that high - or a tractor with a endloader bucket to lift it. The head bolts are all in plain view. you need that triple square socket to get them, then the three small ones in the cavity of the cam chain. Cut the chain and pull it off. Also, the cam shaft has to come off first. But remember, it's heavy.
