I'm trying to replace my exhaust manifold lock tabs. Got the LH side all done easily.RH side LONG bolts will not come out as they are hitting the shock tower-(all execpt the very back one) Am I missing something or do I need to jack up the engine a bit?

To replace the long bolts, the manifolds needs to be removed with the loose long bolts in place, and the bolts need to be slid in their spots before the manifold goes back in. Remember, the manifolds were installed on the engine prior to the engine going in the car.

Thanks!! That sounds easier than trying to jack up the engine.
