The issue is not the space to remove the actual valve cover.
You need to remove 8 fuel lines to the injectors as they are on top of the valve cover.
Bank 1 you can remove the whole fuel rail with 4 lines still attached to them or remove individual lines 1-4. That's up to you there is enough space to do it either way.
Bank 2 there is not enough space to remove complete fuel rail you got to remove lines 5-8 one by one. And there is not enough space to see or use regular sockets or wrench. You definitely need special fuel line sockets.

Invest the money and buy special sockets you'll save yourself time and headache.
Ask me how I know.
Set which I bought was not cheap (around $120) but it was worth every penny.
I've already used it multiple times and it was life saver.
