Yes the head studs can be done one at a time, take one out put one in and torque. Start from the middle and work your way out.

This is just my .02. If I lived in Texas, I'd make it over to Cheezit's shop. I think he is reasonably close to Dallas. I've read threads on here about leaving the original gaskets in place and the consensus was not to do it - it is a lot of work to get to the heads - why risk it over a relatively cheap part.
On the PM subject, I'm not sure you can do it until you have 25 posts. This drove me crazy for a while. Can't add a signature either.
Another thing - I am no expert, but I doubt the oil leak is from head gaskets. Check some of the threads on oil leaks - they are very common on these engines and there are a number of possibilities that are usually hard to diagnose without really cleaning the engine and maybe even putting dye in the oil. Hopefully one of the techs will weigh in
