You can supposedly use a compressed air connection into the spark plug hole to save having to remove the whole head, but I've never tried it myself.
I have also heard of a VW dealership tool which can compress the springs with the head still attached, but I haven't seen it…

to be honest taking the head off a small block isnt hard, and for the price of a head gasket and head bolts is it not worth doing anyway?
