I did this once on a '69 Camaro that had skipped a tooth, so I think it can be done. You would need to remove the hood to make things easier. The radiator might need to come out, too. I think you can remove the timing cover enough to take the chain off and on without taking the balancer off. It's been a long time, so my memory isn't very good with the details, but I think there is a removable link. Hopefully someone that has done this more recently will chime in... There's a thread farther down about timing chain life. I noticed a couple of people there talked about changing their timing set recently. PM them or ask your question on that thread.
