There is a special socket you can get, it slides over the spark plug, then you use an end wrench to take it out. Do a search, forgot where I got mine.

I just removed the coil pack assembly and used a swivel adaptor. You can handle the last one from the top with a little patience. You have a 99 so you should remove the EGR tube off the manifold so you have a little more leverage. Just be careful not to drop the gasket or the bolts of the flange. F bodies are not very forgiving when it comes to helping you find stuff you dropped. I'm sure my neighbors were like "wtf" when they heard me getting all pissed...
