You should be able to pull the cam by taking off the timing cover and pull it out the front. You need to take the two bolts out of the oil pan that attach to the cover....but you also have to remove the accessories, radiator, a/c condenser and possibly the bumper to get it out....but it's doable by "just taking the intake off." Depends what your definition of just is.
last time I checked there were 4 bolts in my front cover for the oil pan. I must have one of those high performance blocks and timing cover. If I do a cam in mine I'll just yank the engine and put it on an engine stand. I can have my engine out and bolted to the stand in about 35 minutes. Makes it so much easier to degree it in and do the install. I can have my radiator out in three minutes. I have quick disconnects on the tranny lines and the cooling fan. Comes out as a module. I was looking out for myself when I built this car.lol

I hear you on that one. Thats the good thing about stripping a car and putting it back together again. You can get rid of all the BS. Thats were all those extra bolts come from when you put things back together. The bell housing prolly takes the longest to do over the whole car. But then again you can just pull the trans out with it lol.
my engine bay is clean enough to where I yank my engine to do major work on it = easier to degree the cam on a stand and I don't have my greasey butt hanging all over the fenders
