Are you planning to cut the intake open to reach the entire runner, or just grind on what you can reach from the top?
There are plugs (like a freeze plug) in the bottom of the manifold that can be removed to access the bottom of the runners.

They intake gaskets are reuseable if you are careful with them. I am a bit hesitant to reuse them. After all they are fairly inexpensive.

Not only filtered air, but the intake is also injesting the "dirty / oily" air from the PCV Valve on the LH head and the vent on the RH head. I have vented mine to the atmoshpere with small filters to try to keep this contamination to a minimium.
