you might have to take the timing cover off I guess... that sucks. It isn't a "hard" or complicated job but it will be a PITA. A couple of my bolts were so darn rusted in place, I needed a zip gun to tear open the timing cover to free it.
I think 4 bolts go into the block (thru the timing cover) and the others are just bolted into the timing cover. The ones that screw into the timing cover are easy to fix, try to remove them by drilling or using tap screws (or whatever they're called).
The ones going to the block are going to be hard. If you don't have any experience with crappy situations like this, get someone who has been there before to do it. Things to watch out for are; not to destroy the threads in the block, getting pieces of metal in the oil pan, pieces of metal in the coolant (not as bad as the oil pan).
I installed a used timing cover I got for 20 bucks, the gasket kit comes with part of the oil pan gasket. I had to trim mine a little and used some RTV silicone. That was far more easier than trying to save the old cover.
Now if you manage to get to the bolt "studs" and attempt to get them out with some vice grips, don't apply full pressure all the time, use a sort of wave length pattern to sort of "jiggle" them free. Tap them with a hammer and use plenty of loosenut. I used a zip gun to "tap" the end of the stud to free the rust.
Good luck with this.

no matter how hard I try to make it all work out. I've been playing with stuff like this since I was 8 years old.
). I like to slowly increase the amount of pressure I am putting on the part, or hold a constant amount of pressure on it for a few seconds. Use plenty of penetrant, and tap each bolt (or whats left of it) with a hammer a few times before you try to get it out. Just a few taps should be ok, you're not pounding nails into concrete.
