Removing heads in car with studs?

I was wondering If anyone here can tell me if I can take the heads off while the motor is in the car still if I have arp headstuds. The car is a 99 Trans am, I blew a head gasket and hoping I don't have to drop the motor. Thnx.

As stated above, yes you can. I can not remember but you may have to pull the studs out of the block before you pull the heads off.
