In fact it's been running rough at start up lately, so all signs point to the plugs.

Losing ALL the GPs' would be hard to imagine, but losing the strip fuse from fatigue is often a problem. Its under the cover on the GP timer. Cheap fix and worth changing as long as you are there. If its OK, then off to the races with removing the manifold.
BTW a ball-end hex tool is what I have found makes installing or removing the hex head bolts easier. There is even one made (by Wiha) that has a gripper that holds the bolt while you lower it down on the tool.
Please be real careful not to drop anything into an intake port while the manifold is off
