You didn't give year/ engine??

But... in general, Any OHV( pushrod) engine, requires draining the coolant, removing the intake manifold and anything else that is required to do so. For example, distributor, alternator or other brackets bolted to/blocking the manifold.

On O.H.C. cams, the lifter/lash adjusters/buckets (what ever you want to call them) on say a quad 4, requires removing the camshafts. Some O.H.C. engines with finger followers, you cam remove the follower by compressing the valve spring and sliding it out. Being careful to compression the valve on the opposite stroke with the piston away from TDC( example remove intake follower on exhaust stroke 30+ degrees past TDC). I've done this on a 4.0 SOHC Ford to replace a broke exhaust valve spring without any specialty tools in <30mins.

87 Chevy S10 28l V6 and one lifter collapsed and warped the pushrod Can you just change that one bad lifter and do you have to take off the intake manifold to get the lifter out please help?

You can change just the one lifter, however you should determine why it went bad. The intake manifold must come off to get to the lifter. Is there advanced mileage? do you change the oil regularly? Seeing how it is an 87 vehicle, with 19 years of use on the engine, I would strongly suggest changing the full set. Be carefull though as there is the possibility on that engine of 2 different size lifter bores. If yours are oversized it will be stamped on the lifter bore (not on the lifter) 0.25mm 0.5 There should also be a white paint mark at the bore.
