You can. Put some zip ties around the timing belt and cam gears, then remove the cam gears. they are hard to do so be careful not to break the bolt in the cam or crack the head with tools. use a bungee cord to hold the cam gears upward so as not to lose the timing on the crank sprocket. getting them back on is difficult too as the tension on the belt will be hard to overcome when you try to line up the gear to the dowel on the cam.

Yes you can but don`t bother taking the sprockets off...well you are going to be replacing the cam seals right? So pull them off with the head still on the car for more leverage.

Your belt slipped, didn't it?
If so just cut the old one off.

Go with an oem composite gasket unless your gonna have the head planed and the block decked.    And make sure you do the waterpump at the same time.
