Since you have some time, you might do a google search on "GM exhaust manifold bolt repair kit". Don't ask me how I stumbled across this, but I did.
It seems a interesting, inexpensive fix that might be easier than removing broken bolts. Kral auto I think was the place that makes them, even have youtube videos on the install. I think dorman also makes one.
Nothing like doing it the correct way, that I know. But this might be a decent stopgap in the meantime. Doing it the right way seems like one of those 2 hour turned into 3 days type of jobs. I've seen posts online of people spending upwards of $1900 to do it all they way down to $300. The most expensive came from the OS, and that guy had his heads pulled and machined which seems a bit like overkill.
Essentially what this kit does is uses some empty bolt holes on the engine..must have been left there for shipping or something, and you bolt a thick piece of metal to that which also has a nut welded into it that lines up over the broken manifold bolt area. You then run a bolt down through that allowing you to press the flange back up to the engine. A clamp of sorts if you will.
Maybe its snake oil, I dunno. Saw it, thought I'd pass it along. The manifold bolts don't seem like they are torqued on with extreme pressure, which would lead me to believe they are easier to remove. But with the amount of heat cycles they see and how rusty they tend to get, I can see the "good" ones either breaking or just a pain to remove...especially in such close quarters.
