On my SII they seem to be in close contact.

I did this last fall on a parts car that had been sitting in mud for
years. I WD-40d the four bolts on each side, two from the top A-arm (or
thereabouts), and two running vertically upward. They came out pretty
easily for a skinny guy like me. The two upper bolts also have nuts so
they can be attacked from both sides. The two lower bolts use welded
studs that can be filled with WD-40 from above since the stud sleeves
protrude through the body-frame horns in the engine bay. I did have the
luxury of removing the two through the suspension frame from above,
since I had cut the car in half and flipped the front over.
