Yes.

You don't have to remove the pan or the oil pump, you can sneak the cam 
past the oil pump drive gear.  You may not have to remove the dizzy drive 
gear either to remove the cam, but why fight it?  When you reinstall the 
cam you will have to R&R the dizzy drive gear to reset the gear 
orientation, so might as well take it out first.  Just don't drop the 
distributor drive gear into the sump, or you become this week's DCM.  <8^(
