Dan, It should just fall off. Once the 4 bolts are out, there isn't anything left to hold them up. I had to use a sawzall to cut the exhaust bolts on my '82. No, it wasn't easy, but I dont have a torch. Make sure that all the hangers are undone of course. Go easy with that sledge...if you do miss, I have a complete single exhaust available off my 82.
