No, just the rails. It would make your life much easier to remove the oil pan or the cylinder head however

The oil pan is off already. I don't want to pull the head if I don't need to. Pulling the timing cover is one thing, but pulling the head gets me into a whole new can of worms that I'd rather avoid.

Not until you have the front cover back on and have the valve cover off. Its not to hard, take the tensioner out, take the gear off and zip tie the chain to the gear. Do the work you need to do with the front off and reassemble the front cover and set the timing. Double check your pump timing and install the valve cover and off you go.
