Really the hardest part is getting to that flippin bolt on the very back of the coil pack bracket, I just left it out after the first time I got it out. But once thats off the coils come off so easy and its amazingly easier to get to that plug and wire. It opens up more room than you would think if you haven't done it that way before.
Glad you got it done OP, try the coils next time and see which way you like better.

Dont know either, but like has been posted, remove the coil packs from the passenger valve cover ( the complete assembly ) and it opens up all kinds of room and is very easy except the rear bolt that is under the cowling, just leave that bolt off when you put it back together, thats what a lot of people do

hahaha thats the truth. i went to fastenal and got them to order me button head bolts to replace all those ones with spikes on the top on the coil brackets. now the cat attack is kept to a minimun i still have the part number if anyone wants it. i guess it could be the cat attack delete mod.

Changing plugs is easy on a F-body compared to my wife's Saturn Vue (Opel 3.0L V6). You have to remove the entire intake manifold to even expose the plugs. Plus, being a German engine, all bolts are Torx so you are buying a new set of sockets as well. I haven't actually done this and the car has 120,000 miles. I'll wait until a coil pack goes out and then change out plugs and coils (the coils are directly on the plugs).
For the Z I've just removed the coil packs and removed the AIR tubes. Not really that difficult but I have skinny arms.
I have to give credit to my old Honda, you could change plugs in about 5 minutes...
