Removing Exhaust Manifold

My father in-law just got the SRT-10 pillar with the grab handle and a autometer ultralite egt gauge... we are going to do the install tomorrow (12-26-04). We want to put the probe where the 5th and 6th cylinder meet in the manifold. To make the install clean we would like to take the manifold off to be able to drill where we want to. Any tips when removing it? Should it bolt back up just the same that it came off? Are there any gaskets that we need to worry about? Any info would be great... Have a great Christmas (at least what's left).
