Once the cooling pipe comes off IIRC access isn't bad.  The pipe has
to pull out of the water pump, but then you can wiggle it around to a
position where it's out of the way.  If you need to remove it
completely, lining up one of the holes in the crankshaft pulley to
give maximum clearance at the pinch point helps a lot.
