30+ year old leaf springs don't come out easy. On my 68 I had to sawzall the rear shackle bolts. On the front (rear) spring mounts I ended up snapping 2 out of 3 J clips and the bolts just spun so I had to hacksaw blade and drill out those bolts too. Definitely be prepared for the worst and put the car where it can be for a while if things get really tough. If you want a hand, just give a shout.
