Can you remove the exhaust manifolds without removing the heads (AHA engine)?

you may need to jack the engine off of it's mounts to do it though.

I am recovering from a timing belt failure- all 30 valves were bent, so both heads were machined. I have some serious exhaust leakage up front, so your answer tells me two things-

I can manually re-torque all em bolts, though it may not be easy

and

if I need to re-replace the EM gaskets, I don't have to buy 2 more head gasket kits.

Thanks- your reply is very helpful!
