Just remove nut on drivers side motor mount bolt and place jack with short 2x6 (lay flat between jack and oil pan) under oil pan. Jack engine up on drivers side about 3 inches more or less.
If the bolts on cam covers are the original torx, make sure you insert the torx wrench all the way into the top of the torx bolt and apply as much pressure as you can (pushing into the bolt) on the torx wrench as you break loose the torx bolt.
Now if you want to remove the heads without removing the brake booster, there is another trick on removing those long head bolts. There appears to be not enough room to extract them from the head without removing the brake booster

I would love not to remove the brake booster, as it is a major PITA! Thanks for the tip! I'll try it!
