Can I remove 1 intake bolt?

The question is the same as the title.

I have a Big block motor, and I just bought a new engine harness for the truck. The harness has two metal clips that I believe go under two if the intake bolt heads. Is it OK to loosen the bolts and slide the tab under them if I do them one at a time? Or would I destroy the gaskets?

I'd take one out if it was mine... maybe put a little goo on it to seal the threads and carefully re-torque it.
