Just soak the hell out them for a few days and you should be fine. Like I mentioned, a couple of mine were broken off and they came out with very little persuasion after soaking them.

Follow this advice. Best damn option you could use. I completely spaced out mentioning the ARP bolts. I have used them on any rusted or important bolts that were removed (manifold, harmonic balancer, motor mounts, timing cover…). They are worth the extra cost, pick up a can of their hardware lube as well.

*please note that ARP is not a sponsor of this post* yet….
+1. I installed all new ARP hardware (head bolts, harmonic balancer bolt, exhaust manifold bolts, cam bolts) when I did my cam swap. They paid for themselves because they're reusable and I had to do the stinkin' job 3 times.

On the exhaust manifold bolts, I agree with the others here. Soak them with Deep Creep over the course of a week (it's more expensive for a reason), tap them with a ball peen hammer, then rock them back and forth with a socket a few times. More deep creep, then pray. Do this work with the front wheels off and the fender liners out. MUCH easier.
