OIl Filter housing seal replacement non turbo

HI,

I have been looking at some descriptions and videos on this.
The front end removal does not look to bad (not really fully removed but loosened to increase clearance)

All of the videos I have found are for turbo engines and it's quite involved to get to the oil filter housing.

For the non turbo, do any exhaust components need to be removed?
Basically I'd like to know what needs to be removed other than the front end to gain access.

Edit - I looked at the service manual exhaust section and of course the lower heat shield is blocking access but is removing this enough to gain access?
Not sure if the exhaust pipe from manifold is blocking access.

Thanks
