Spark plug wire conduit

There are several threads on this topic, here is a recent one:

Loosening a couple head bolts

As I continue to tear apart and freshen up under the bonnet, I’d like to repaint the gold on the head, but I’m order to do so, I need to remove the spark plug wires and the conduit they are in. That requires removing two head nuts for the conduit and one of the head pulling thingies (another two head nuts). They don’t all need to come off at the same time, but can I remove two at a time without causing a head gasket leak?
