you don't need to remove the heads to pull the lifters. once the intake is off you just pull the lifters out.
edit- if you don't want to pull the intake (it's very easy) then you could try 16 magnets. you'd need one for each lifter and probably a prayer too. just pull the intake and remove the lifters.

If I read it right, you are going to have to pull your valve covers, loosen rockers, pull out pushrods, then pull out the lifters. You cant get the lifters out with pushrod pressure on them. And of course the intake has to come off, but heads can stay on. Hope that answers your question.
