You should be able to get to the top bolt from top of the engine bay. I had to lean over the fender pretty deep in the engine bay to access it though. 62 had a bunch of air intake stuff right there if memory serves so might not be as easy as it is on mine. Top 'bolt' I think is actually a nut on a stud, although mine came off by having the stud spin out of the bellhousing mount. There is not much to the starter removal. Just harder to access that top bolt. Like @Fourrunner says, deep socket and an extension should get to it. You're young. If I can do it surely you can. GL and HTH.
