Default Plugs and Head removal

I'm getting ready to take out the 15 bolts, but I didn't get the plugs out. Will this be a problem for removing the heads or can I leave them for the removal. I'll buy new plugs when putting on the new heads.

You can leave them in. They won't be in the way.

The worst that will happen is you'll break off one of the ceramic ends off the plug if it hits somethin while your pullin the head out of the engine compartment.
