yeah just replaced gasket on my hemi 6, uses the same set up more or less, no brass washer in the middle but all else much the same.
even with a blown out gasket at the exhaust header of no.5 and no. 6 those nuts were still on and were reassuringly tight.
caused my own pain here by re-using the gasket 2 years ago.... new gasket now...
being cheap and of course then i had to do the job twice.......
having a selection of 1/2 inch or 13mm sockets a set of fat and thin extensions a decent ratchet with a good "click" resolution, the more clicks the better, and a magnetic pickup wand makes this job easier.
and on my RHD car its also time to take out the heater/fan motor and lube its bushes and replace its brushes..... not a problem on yours. i just can't do it with the inlet in place
but if you had clutch z bar, starter motor, brake pipes, or steering stuff to do, now would be the time when you have an excess of space available from above
