I know you can handle it. Plus you can always ask around here if you're not sure and need some advice on anything. The best tool you have is your digital camera. Just take pictures of it as you take things apart and your life will be much easier when you go to assemble it all back together. Be careful not to ding the cylinder or lose any of the little parts. As you know it's a nightmare trying to get replacement parts and those fins are really brittle on the cylinder head. I like working on a wooden workbench as they are a lot softer and forgiving when you are working on old engines. Disassembling on an old rubber mat is a good idea too. Like a piece cut out of an old bed liner from a pickup.
At least everything should be in great shape and you're just replacing a head gasket. Good luck.
