there might be more but on the passenger side your transmission dipstick tube is bolted to that head and theres like, one bolt on the drivers side with ground wires, thats all i remember and i just did it to my 98 a4 you can get it out of the top pretty easy, the worst part was unbolting the dipstick from the back of the head as it ended up pulling out of the transmission and spilling fluild everywhere....

There are at least 3 grounds on the back of the heads driver side for sure and i think there is one on the pass side.

yeah the dipstick takes some finangling around to get it out but it comes out. Only one bolt holds it in. As for the grounds there's 3 on one side and one on the other, but there's only one bolt on each head for them all. If you are pulling the harness with the engine you don't need to pull them though I believe. Pretty sure they run with the wiring harness. and ground elsewhere, but not sure where?
