engine to trans bolts

How are you supposed to get at the top one or two (not sure if its the same bolt viewed from 2 different angles) bolts that go between the engine and trans on a 79 f150 super with a 400 and a c6? I got 6 so far, 4 plus the 2 from the starter. any help?

Thanks 390, do I have to remove anything other than the air filter to get at them? I looked but couldn't tell.

The other way is using 3-4 ft of extension with a u-joint socket from underneath
