Another way to look at this is that by the time you have pulled the cylinder heads off of one of these cars...
you have done everything necessary to pull the engine out short of removing the radiator (already drained), unbolting the engine mounts, and either unbolting the engine from the tranny or dropping the driveshaft and unbolting the tranny linkages and mount.
And pulling or reinstalling heavy cast iron cylinder heads from a motor while leaning over a fender or radiator support is not much fun and pretty hard on one's back. Much easier to do while standing next to the motor on a stand
