It can all be done with the engine in place. Pull the radiator/fan/shroud to make access to the front of the engine easier.

Yep, leave it in. Fan and fan shroud out, plenty of room to do the timing belt stuff.

easy-peasy, just need to pull the fan, fan shroud, and radiator (a good idea for extra room, but not required).

Which upgraded twins are you going for?
