#2 was super easy for me. It's all about feeling your way and bending your arm in the right position to get it. I think I used a 2" extention. #8 is a bitch though. I had to have my brother under the car to guide the socket onto the plug. I think it would have been a lot easier if I dropped the starter. Total time for an LT1 plug change was <2 hours.

#8 is easy for me. I sit with my right butt cheek on the battery, body facing away from the passanger side. I use my right arm with a dogbone and it's simple to reach. One of the easiest ones IMO
Hope my description helps
