For those of you with the factory A/C still in place, what combination of tools works best to change the #6 spark plug? Gotta go buy some.

Don't get me started about that. I don't know what's worse, changed them with the A.I.R. and stock manifolds or with long tube headersI don't think #6 in my GN is HALF as bad as #8 in the '86 IROC I had. I think there is STILL a black cloud of curse words hanging over Charleston ,SC from THAT tirade.
Yup, I got my cheapo swivel spark plug socket from Uh-O'Reillys. I use a 12inch extension. EASY. I haven't used any other plug socket since.The key is that the u-joint must be built in to the 5/8" spark plug socket. I don't know about Craftsman vs Snap On etc. as mine was an el cheapo from Harbor Freight. I found that nothing helps unless the u-joint feature is built into the plug socket as any other combo is toooooo long, at least it is in my GN.

Big sledge hammer with the mini is to small

use the 24" extension on all the plugs, not just #6, the ratchet never goes below the top of the fender and the knuckles never get near anything sharp .
