Seeing as to how I have done this several times, I will chime in here.
Yes, you will have access to the oil cooler upon removal of the engine tin.
Before taking off the injectors, you will probably have to detach the MPS...or whatever that thing is...i should know by now...brain not working...it is early.
To remove it, the best way that I have found is to undo the injectors from the intake by undoing the 10mm nut on each one. Then, undo the intake tubes..13mm nut, three, or four depending on your car. Loosen the rubber boots at the throttle body and remove the intake tubes.
Undo the head temp sensor from the wiring harness. Get all wires out of the way...oh and unplug the spark plugs.
Next you will probably have to undo the coil...makes things a little simpler.
You do not have to remove the distributor..just have to be patient about moving the tin.
Start undoing the tin screws...there are quite a few...also like two underneath the throttle body. You also have to undo the breather hose...forgot about that one.
Once you have everything undone...you will want to undo the distributor cap and move it out of the way...just so you don't break it.
Then comes the hard part...you have to pull out the tin and it does get to be a pain and frustrating...also forgot, take off the heater tube...if you still have it.
you have to sort of bend the tin around things and pull...it might be kind of hard to think the tin will come out, but it will.
You might have to undo the other side of injectors and remove the whole throttle body...can't remember if i did or not...i think i didn't...but had to take the air cleaner assembly off.
Assembly is also a bit of a pain, but it can be done.
If you have any questions or get stuck, email me...

Hope everything works out for you.

oh, and once you get the tin off...you might want to clean the head up and blow air through the oil cooler.
forgot one more thing...i think you have to undo the throttle cable...pretty sure you do.
