Timing 1929 Model 135 - Which covers to remove?

I would like to tune and set the timing on my 1929 Model 135, and I am confused as to how many of the hoods and/or housings need to be removed to be able to observe the "delta" slot on the fan.

The owners manual identifies (Figure 702):

1) The upper air hood

2) The middle air hood

3) The lower air hood

4) The fan housing

On page 901 of the manual, it states to remove the "engine air housing" to observe the "delta" slot.

If the fan housing is to be removed, is there a simple way to do so? My vehicle has a heater, so there is a "snorkel" of tubing coming our of the "fan housing" to a box on the exhaust manifold (generator side of the motor). Might removing this "snorkel" be enough to view the delta slot?

I am fine removing each of the hoods and housing listed above, but it seems to be a complicated procedure. I want to be certain I am not missing something obvious, having not owned or worked on one of these engines previously.

I have also checked the "question and answer" forum on the club webpage and did not find any information on specifically which parts to remove for access to the delta slot.

Thanks for any advice or guidance.

Jim
