If you mean under the plenum so you can do it without dismantling, not in your wildest dreams
It doesn't take very long to take off the plenum though. Working slow and unfamiliar it shouldn't take more than two hours to get it off, and that's being real generous. Once you're familiar with it it's non hassle at all. I just had to get to my injectors the other day and I think I had the plenum fully off in about 45 minutes tops, with most of that trying to reach those pain-in-the-ass 10mm hidden here and there.
Disconnecting the injector would be the right move, otherwise you're gonna be filling the crank case with fuel vapors - and that's when the real fun begins. If he drives it hard and for a while it might develop a knock, but if you're replacing the motor anyways that's hardly a concern.
