Red face Head gasket replacement....

OK, so it's been many, many years since I've done any major engine work on a car, but I'm going to attempt to fix a blown head gasket on my Camaro. The engine is a 1969 DZ302 with 13:1 compression, camel hump heads, tunnel ram, etc. but when it comes down to it, it's a pretty basic engine with no accessories.

I just plan on pulling the one head and replacing the gasket but I was wondering whether there are specific caveats or pitfalls I need to look out for? Or, are there any special tips or tricks that you can give me that will help? I just want to make sure I'm aware of any special things that I need to consider besides the normal pulling of the head and torqueing it down to factory specs, etc. I appreciate it.
