does thermostat need to be removed? V70-XC70 2006

Actually, I concur with your mechanic. Much easier to disconnect turbo from the exhaust and leave the manifold connected to the head. Once the head is out, you could spray the bolts and remove the manifold from the head. Much easier on your back that way.

The coolant line to the turbo needs to be disconnected at the manifold anyway.

Just remember: If at anytime you think you are drowning, stop. Have a beer, take a break, and reassess. You can always put things back together and find a mechanic to do the job. Once you remove the cam cover, the rest of the job is up to you because you are quite able to finish it your self.
