My plans for the engine, suggestions/comments

[Meatyshells]

I bought some spare heads, LIM, and UIM for my car and i plan on doing a bisc port/polish on them.
When i am doing the heads, i plan on getting the following..

stainless valves
comp-oe lifters
hardended pushrods

how hard is it to pull the heads? and what is required to pull the heads?Do i need pull all the valvetrain componets out of the head in order to remove the heads?
and if anyone can give me a list off all the gastkets and hardware i would need to pull the heads, LIM, and UIM that would be great

the first time i pulled heads it was hard, now I can probably get them off in 2 hrs.

first time ~5-6 hrs with some small brakes.

gaskets:
cyl. head gaskets
upper intake
lower intake
throttle body

tools:
regular sockets and socket wrenches
valve spring compressor

other parts:
*parts you listed*
rocker arm bolts


as long as your in there why not some rockers or a cam? (for the cam you'd be over halfway there)

i already have 1.9 rockers and 105 springs.
do i need to pull the rockers/springs before i pull the heads off?

no, you dont, but i would pull the rockers off to make it easier to pull the head.
