I find it hard to believe that someone would install an exhaust w/o gaskets. The stock paper gaskets are worthless.
I forget the # for the copper gaskets, but it has been posted before. I have shorty wrenches I have used to remove the top bolt and nut. It takes awhile.

lots of extensions, there's more room for a ratchet further back

That line made my day. Haven't laughed like that in a week.

You can try to get at it with extensions. Stubby wrenches help also.

I've read at a couple of places that it is not too unsualy to install headers without gaskets as well, and that some just use a silicone based high-temp gasket sealant.
