stuffed into a Camaro skin..........

what are the things to that need to be removed to tune this pup? spark plugs, plug wires, dist cap(is easy enough).
Discovered pretty heavy oil leak either from the Dist or the timing chain cover or both...?????
left side looks like you can get to??? but the right side looks like I have to remove the exhaust,starter, and A/C to get to them??? HOW correct am I?

Do NOT waste the money paying someone else to do it. Just fight it. You WILL win, its just a pain in the ***. The first time I ever did an LT1s plugs I think it took me an afternoon. I could do them in under an hour now...and I've never removed anything to do them. I bought one of the plug tools (Cut down socket) but it didnt end up helping that much. Bottom line, its not fun, but you can do it.

Okay....I need some support here....there is a pretty good miss....so I'm confused on whether the water pump is leaking or not....if it IS ....it's a SMALL drip. SO, if it is .....does this ruin the opti spark or just the cap.....

now for the second issue. OIL LEAK in the front, one guy says it could be the o ring on the timing chain cover at the distributor. One supplier actually has a Z and says DO not attempt to change the timing chain cover due to screwing up the oil pan gasket and "silicone sealer" or it will leak worse forever....need help I'm already running out of day light on this project.
