Are you referring to the chain tensioner?

The same tensioner that applies tension to the chain to keep the engine from jumping Mechanical timming??

If so Then No....

Learn to type English, fuckwad. Reading your posts makes my eyes bleed.

You cannot remove either timing chain tensioner unless you want the chain slapping around and shredding valves. There's a reason to keep the chain tensioned.

You can remove both the timing chain guides. We all know this. Welcome to 1994.
