LT1 with long tubes is not that hard.
Driver side...use a regular spark plug socket and an open end wrench on the end of it. Do all 4 from above.

Passenger side...remove the starter and do the two rear most plugs from underneath. Then do the front two from above. I can do it without moving the alternator, but you might need to move it if you can't quit get it. Should take no more than 1 hour not including jacking time if doing it in the garage.
Hope that helped.
PS: you absolutely have to drink while you do it.

my back two on the drivers side are the bitches (bbk shortys) i do all from underneath on the drivers side and all from above on the pass side. had to grind down a spare socket on BOTH sides AND use and open end wrench on the socket just for the back one on the drivers side...but no problems at all on the pass side.

also...i have a spare set of ngk tr6 plugs and a set of bosch platinums. my friends 95 formula is pretty much stock. which ones should we put on it (he's not spraying, just wondering for a stock lt1)

Update: Did the plugs tonday and it wasnt all that bad. The LT's did help alot. Driver side went like a breeze. Then the pass side well that was a little tough. Did have to remove the starter to get them from underneath. All went well. Did break or rip the ground wire from the side of the block so an extra 30 mins went to replacing that. Thanks for the info guys. Oh all were gapped at .35
