Only if you have a "lucky" manifold.  The Jig Datsun built them on was very
loose by 1969.  Some of them have the collector box almost horizontal.  The
problem becomes that you can't tilt the manifold enough to get the collector
box vertical enough to come out.  It may work on some if you're luck - I'm
not.

Remove the motor mount bolts on that side of the engine and lift the
engine a bit. You'll find that the exhaust manifold can then clear the
frame, without having to remove the cylinder head.
