Coils, plugs, and inlet manifold gasket replacement...easier to to remove the whole intake manifold to do the work, or prop it up with blocks enough to get access? Time isn't really an issue, if it only has to be done once.

I would take it off just make sure to carefully remove everything like hoses etc before you try to lift it off. Also helps to have an assistant help lift it back on to make it easier to line up.
Once it's off the rest of the job is so much easier and you can have a good look at all the goodies underneath and check for leaks etc.

Mace and a few other sites have good tutorials on this if you need them.

It's a super easy thing to take it off. Takes a few minutes with practice and for the uninitiated maybe 30mins taking your time.
