Pulling the heads with the engine still installed?

I know it is possible, BUT I have ARP head studs installed and I stuffed the engine as a longblock.

My question is... Can you get a set of heads off and out if there are head studs installed?

One about it was that the heads weigh a decent amount so its kinda hard to get them lined up right...no big deal though.
