Head bolt replacement DIY question (enough room?)

Hey Guys,

Got a 150k miles 2008 C63 for a steal, dealer serviced every 5k miles, single owner, and overall good condition. I am about to change out the intake and exhaust camshafts, head bolts, and tappets. I was going to do the 1 by one method to replace them without pulling the head. Can anyone confirm if I can pull the bolts without dropping the engine? Particularly is there enough room to get the backmost bolts on the bottom out?? Someone whos done this or knows please let me know, I wanna be sure before I start pulling bolts. Ill also do a write up on the car and plan on cutting the bolts to see how bad they really are at 150k miles.

There is even enough room to pull both heads with stock exhaust manifold installed. I did that
