As others have said pulling the intake is not hard, if I had a stock intake I'd likely not bother with a sensor relocation.
However, I have a FAST intake which can crack and getting a torque wrench on the rear bolts is not easy. I went with a relocation just to have one less thing that might require the intake to come off. I used a topic here to source all of the parts needed to do the relocation rather than buy a kit.

Pulling an LS1 intake is stupid easy. I could have that intake off and back on in less time than it takes you neanderthals to cut a hole through your windshield cowling.

It's funny but it's true.
I also rolled the dice by putting the crappy old sensor back where it was supposed to be and I never had a problem again.

I haven't read all the replies and been thinking about doing the relocation but decided to leave it alone for now.
The easy way is to take the manifold off, I am rebuilding the top end and yes it's simple to take the manifold off and have the easiest access to the sensor. If you like to see a pic of the sensor with the manifold off please let me know.
