Sure you can but its no big deal to remove the tc. You just needa stubby 9/16 wrench

on my build thread i have a write up on how to do it, as some early NP231 t-cases have some cage bearings that need to be pressed off from the input shaft (yours will require it) it is very easy to do it with out removing it.
