'86 3.2 spark plug changing

OK - is there really a way for a human to get at the plug that is closest to the passenger i.e. in the back on the right side below the air cleaner? (No. 6 I believe it is). I can't see how it's done - any comments appreciated.

Unclip the air filter cover, need strong fingers and skinny arms, then the best tool is the spark plug socket in the tool bag and its Allen wrench. For even more space remove the air box, just 3 10mm head screws and a clamp

Are your ac hoses interfering? Remove compressor and drape onto fender maybe, ref. Many threads. I don't remember that side being too bad.

Yup, compressor off and stacked over on top of the engine and air filter cover off.
