If you have an offest distributor wrench you should have no problems

If it's never been loosened before it can be tough to break it loose. Liberal doses of penetrating oil (PB Blaster) overnight can make the job a lot easier. Most quality distributor wrenches can be wiggled in from several angles to get at it. And removing the coil will definitely get you extra room on that side.

I use a 3" and a 6" extension with the round tips so they swivel around the obstacles.
