Carbs are out.
I think the British employ small gnomes to put those things in. Some bolts have almost no turn per movement of the wrench, and arms have to turn in some of the most uncomfortable positions. By contrast every GM vehicle I've worked on (Syclone, Typhoon, LS1 Camaro, LS2 GTO, Grand Prix GTP, Solstice) is a cakewalk. They may take awhile, but it's easy...

Most people who have old british cars with carbs have a selection of spanners and sockets which have been shortened/narrowed/customised to enable them to be used to get the carbs off ;) (i've only got 2 on mine though!)
