Sure, "unobscured". Here's what the WHOLE thing looks like:

You need to raise the engine enough to access all the bolts (something like 40-50 bolts of various sizes). Once it's loose, you need enough clearance below to swing it down and around the steering gear and crossmember. This may involve removing various suspension parts. It also may require rotating the engine by hand, because the crank throws can obstruct the pan.
