I would not do that. Without the engine locked tat TDC, cams locked ,and the tensioners pulled, the shaft will jump to one side due to valve spring pressure, and could jump time in the process, if you could even get the flange cover off. We have had more than one car flat bedded into the shop after doing exactly what you describe. Bad idea.........
If you are going to remove the flange, you need to go the entire route or risk problems.
