Well is it possible or would it be best to just drop the k frame?
 
SB, BB, headers or cast iron manifolds? Likely you can pull them either ways! Just harder to bend over fenders JMO!
 
What type of car are you working with?
 
That's a tight fit. I know, have a 73 Scamp with gen 3 and headers. Engine was already in when I installed the headers. It's possible to reverse the process, albeit a pain in the ***. With having to drain the cooling system anyway, your only a few connections and bolts away from dropping the whole damn thing out the bottom.
 
Not an A-body but I got my 6.1L heads off in the car

It’s possible. I just did mine a couple weeks ago. Driver side, had to replace lifters. Not hard, plenty of room, removing headers sucked. Installing sucked even more; but it can be done, get a flex ratcheting wrench, and you’re good to go.
