The only difficult bit is likely to be getting the 3 manifold to pipe nuts off without finding the threads on the studs are damaged or corroded. Put Plus gas or whatever on well before you start. Don't force the nuts - when you get a bit of movement squirt on some more gas and work it backwards and forwards until you can turn it completely. If the nut rounds-off or won't budge, you can try hacking out the gasket from the side and then moving the flange up a bit. That gives you access for more gas from the other end of the thread, and the socket a better chance of biting.
Or it may just undo with no trouble. I'd get the nuts free before taking the rest of the pipework off in case you need to keep using the car.
