Passenger side = #2 and #4 from top, and #6 and #8 from bottom (removeing the starter seems to be the easiest way for me)

I do all of the from the top. I don't have any problems with #8, its just really tedious work on that plug. #6 is the bitch from me. I bought an AC Delco set with the open wrench and all the short spark plug sockets. Helps alot. When I didn't have that, I had to get #8 from the bottom.

I can get them all from the top pretty quick. I use the SLP short spark plug socket and a ratcheting box end (one of these http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_1...sName=Wrenches). Makes them a breeze. Removing the alternator helps on #2, as said before.

I know I'm a noob digging up an old thread, but I performed a search and this is what it came up with.
I am getting the joy of changing plugs and wires on the car this weekend for the first time. I don't have LT's (stock manifolds), but I take it the process would be about the same? I have access to a lift if necessary.

with stock manifolds i got all of mine from below IIRC. The lift is a big help, be prepared to sweat, cuss and bleed a bit. The wires are a PIA withthe original looms and the alternator / PS pump need to come loose or off to route the wires behind the PS pump.

I get all from the top. Driver side is about 20min, and passenger about 35min. Use a open ended wrench, ratchet and socket.
Want to buy ratcheting wrench, it would make it WAY faster on the passenger side.
