The head is not too bad at all - it's aluminum alloy, after all.  The 
tough part is that it will still have the manifolds on it, and the EM is 
a bit of a boat anchor.  Still, two people should be fine.

You "should" use new head bolts, and remounting the EM with new hardware 
and gaskets is a good idea.  You can even put in a new warm air intake 
plate if yours is gone...  I wouldn't worry about removing the IM unless 
either 1. you want to paint it or 2. a machine shop wants it out of the way.

This is a nice opportunity to clean up a lot of things that are hard to 
reach, I'm sure you'll have your own "to do list."

Scattered around my web site are lots of pictures of things you will see 
as you dig your way in, I hope it at least helps you prepare a bit.
