Default Passenger side exhaust manifold removal

any tricks or tips of removing the passenger manifold off a 5.9? I'm soaking them down with pb blaster right this very moment and will continue too all day tomorrow and tonight before I go to bed. I have two broken bolts back by the firewall that are leaking bad and I'm tired of hearing the ticking lol. Truck has 218k on it so I expect some fun on this one.

I tend to use impact grade 6 point sockets (whatever size will fit the nut) to remove the rusty nuts, after soaking with PB Blaster for awhile. Once you get the manifold off, you will likely need to remove some of the broken studs. I've used two nuts jammed together on the stud to remove them and if the stud is really stubborn to get off, I use this trick with a torch -
