There are two hidden nuts. One under the pulley at the block and another near the exhaust manifold. Search for the D-tips article. It shows these two hidden fasteners.

Thanks guys for all your help I finally found those hidden nuts and it came out. Tommorrow I'm planning on taking the heads out do you guys have any pointers on removing the heads or any other things that may cause me any trouble? A nieghbor of mine said that the heads are probably cracked because water is getting in the oil he told me to buy a used pair of heads.

Well I had the head rebuilt put everything back together and turns on but sometimes when I crank it will make a loud clunk noise like its back firing I took the distributor out and forgot to mark it so I had to move it around till it fired up. Is there a way to make sure the distributor in the right position?
