Camaro sites will show threads about a "Happy Hooker" that allows you to pull the engine out the top. As far as spark plug removal, if you have access to a lathe, you can just buy a 5/8 plug socket, cut down about half of the socket, and bore the square drive out so the plug runs thru it. then use a 3/4 wrench,socket to remove the plug. With headers it's not real bad at all. Passenger side is the tightest as far as spark plug and header R&R. Like was mentioned, remove the heater stuff and you'll free up a lot of room on the passenger side. BTW, running a carb, usually people knotch the cowl overhang enough to access a distributor and the carb. You'll find pics of all that stuff over on cz28.com if you search the LT1 section.
Have fun
