Default Removing intake manifold

I've been working on and off today taking everything off my caamaro to change the head gaskets and now I've come to the intake manifold. I took out all 5 bolts on each side of it. But it's still not wanting to come out. Are there anymore bolts that I'm missing, maybe behind the intake that I also have to take off? Or is it just hard to take off because the gasket is so old?

There are six (6) bolts per side. Try and find the two you're missing.

Once the bolts are out there is a location on the front where you can pry to safely separate the manifold from the block.

I found them lol. I had actually taken 11 off and just didn't notice until I counted them. I got the intake off now. Also found my ticking problem which was an extremely loose rocker. But I'm gonna take a pic real fast and show you guy how bad and milky this motor is
