Yes, you can.

It is a big deal. I have done it, and next time I'd rather drop the
engine as the total work time would be shorter. My car is carbed so
YMMV. Basically, you have to remove the left upper tin. Most of the
screws are visible, but there is one in front of cyl #3 that is a real
PITA to get out and back in. Also the intake runner has to be removed
(or manifold and carb if that applies). I can not remember how long it
took, but I imagine I spent some 4 hours or something (including coffee
breaks of course). I spent a lot of time getting that one screw by cyl
#3 out, so just because of that one I would rather drop the boxer.
