Evidently you can:
From AutoZone.com

3.1L & 3.4L Engines

  1. Before servicing the vehicle, refer to the precautions section.
  2. Drain the engine oil.
  3. Evacuate the A/C system.
  4. Remove or disconnect the following:

    Negative battery cable
    Accessory drive belt
    Right front wheel
    Right splash shield
    Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) Wheel Speed (WSS) sensor from the right subframe
    Right lower ball joint from the steering knuckle
    Right outer tie rod end
    A/C compressor without disconnecting the lines
    Evaporator-to-accumulator A/C line
    Flywheel cover
    Right side engine cradle bolts
    Crankshaft balancer
    Starter motor
    Oil pan
This is perhaps trivializing the procedure, but, you get the idea.
