     I assume the hose is attached to a threaded piece that screws into the manifold.  As long as it is screwed on and won't come off, I usually heat is up, then use "freeze off" to "un-weld" the piece, has worked every time for me.

#2: There is no such thing as impossible, it just takes longer.

Where are you talking about?  The only thing I can think of that screws into the manifold is behind the carburetor and you'll probably want to keep that for your hvac, cruise and trans. modulator if you have them.

If you are talking about the air tubes on the exhaust manifolds, get the nuts red hot with a torch or better yet invest in a set of quality headers.
