I would say so after my bull crap.
Also mr vortex 1 and 2 agree

Main thing you will need to do is
drain the coolant and remove hoses
Remove bumper
Remove front bar
And get the bar into the lock carrier position.

The whole lock carrier comes forward a fair bit. I was able to remove the AC compressor to change the pulley, it did not disconnect the coolant or remove lights etc.
Google: Move the lock carrier to the service position.
