Default C5 spark plugs

Recently purchased this car and looking to change plugs and wires.
Are there any plugs that will give me issues when trying to remove them? From my old hot rod days, there were at least one or two that had very little room to remove them or something was in the way. Thanks for any info.

Driver's side closest to the firewall isn't very easy. Vacuum lines from the brake booster and the AIR system in the way.

Just look at them, see 1 or 2 that might be hard to get to?

Remove those connections TarHeelDan noted at #7. You'll find that job is easy and makes plug/wire change 30 minutes less and will reduce blood loss too !
