RE: valve cover removal
I did the drivers side a month or two ago, it was a long involved process, but not too hard, just time consuming. take your time, take notes of where bolts and connections go, and stuff like that. take the two brake lines off, and you can finangle the cover to come out without jacking up the engine. if you need any more specific help, you know where to post.

RE: valve cover removal
Here is a tip I found worked great, use a small bottle jack between the drivers side frame rail and engine. Jack the engine towards the passenger side with the bottle jack an inch or less. That is all that is needed to allow the valve cover to come off without difficulty. Doing it this way you don't have to mess with the master cylinder or brake lines.
Moving the engine in the mounts this small amount won't harm anything but makes all the difference in removing and replacing the valve cover.
