So, in order to torque the head (for example), I need to pull the
distributor, >the oil filter housing, and the side cover, undo the *bottom*
of this pipe, and go from there.
Actually you dont need to loosen this to retorque the head, the loop allows
for flex.

You could remove the compression nut on the engine block (inside side cover
cavity),
then remove the 8 nuts from the rocker towers, and the whole valve train
should lift out
the top head, taking the tube with it.
I wouldnt cut the tube else you will get metal debris in your oil system.
