Replacing valve cover gaskets

I need to replace my valve cover gaskets on my 1999 F-body. To do so on the drivers side , am i going to need to disconnect the fuel lines to the Rails or should i be able to get them off without a problem ?

I would recomend taking the coil packs off for sure. I have done it before without taking the coil packs off but it was a pain in the butt trying to get them back in without the gasket messing up.

That would be impossible on a 99 & up

Center bolts are under the coil rails.
