560SL M117 Head Removal - Which Bolts

Before I ask my question I want to let you know I am a novice. I have never removed or rebuilt an engine, but here I am. I know this is a stupid question for those that know, but I don’t know which bolts I am supposed to remove from the heads to remove them. The manual I’m using is so confusing I’ve given up trying to follow it.

https://www.tonk.ca/misc/service-man-engine-m116-m117/1%20Engine%20M116%20-%20117/05.1%20Cylinder%20Head%20and%20Engine%20Timing/05.1-115%20Removal%20and%20Installation%20of%20Cylinder%20Head.pdf

The diagram in the manual shows 18 hex bolts, but I find more than that in total. Which bolts am I supposed to remove? One pic shows removing a bolt on the cam. Am I removing the cam? Can I remove the cam? If so there are 10 of those bolts on the cam alone. I simply can not follow this manual. The tightening order only confuses me more.

I have the engine out, timing chain & cam gears off and I’m ready to remove the upper slide rails (step 16 of this horrible manual). Eventually I do need to remove the cams and bring everything to the machine shop. This same manual says I need a valve spring compressor tool to remove the cam. Is this true? I can’t find the tool that’s listed in the manual for sale anywhere.

I’m not a mechanic. It all started as a rear seal replacement and before I knew it the engine was out and I’m taking it all apart. It’s my rabbit hole.

Any help would be appreciated.
