sure - you just have to remove everything in the way.   that means the
carbs, manifold, etc etc.    you can even do it with an upright, but
stripping the top of an upright in the engine compartment is a lot
harder. :)

when you remove the firewall panel you'll have a good visual reference
for what needs to come off.

is it less work than dropping the engine?  not really, unless you're
not equipped to do that.   especially on a t4 where you can just lower
the assembly out of the way.... unbolt the front trans mount, the rear
engine mounts, and maybe the upper trans mount if you have one, and
lower it down.
