Default 460 head gasket replacement

I have a small coolant leak that appears to be coming from my head gasket. The coolant doesn't seem to be mixing with the oil or leaking internaly. The leak is only apparent after the engine has cooled and the engine does not overheat.
The engine is a Ford SVO 460 with the aluminum Cobra jet heads.
It appears that the clearance required to remove the head may be a problem(drivers side). Passenger side clearance looks O.K. at first glance.
Has anyone changed out the head gaskets on thier 460 with the engine still in the car? Was there enough clearance ? Any tips would be appreciated.
