You can drain the coolant, then remove the heat exchanger without removing the oil lines - you might need to release some of the oil line clamps the get enough flex but it should be do-able.

On my 4.4i I was able to remove the heat exchanger without removing any oil lines clips etc.
Pretty easy procedure.
