Pushrods stuck?

Hey Guys,
I'm taking the heads off of my 93' F250 with the 7.3 idi due to a bad valve but the two pushrside on the right side in the back won't come out there's not enough clearance between the head and evaporator housing to pull them. Do you really have to take the one half of the evap housing off to get them out?

Thanks!

Once the valley pan is off, can you fish them out the valley area?

You could also zip tie them to the head, bring them out and put them back in with it. You'd have to be careful about how you handle it or where you set it down at, but if it saves you hours of labor it may be worth it.
