It's not possible to remove the camshaft with the engine in the vehicle. Plus, my experience with broken camshafts on these engines is that you will find so much damage, it's not worth trying to salvage the engine. Usually, the camshaft bearings have seized to the camshaft, which is what causes the breakage. Often the cam bearings spin in the block, which renders the block useless
This usually means that you have had an extended lack of maintenance, or an extended period of coolant being mixed into the oil. Big surprise on these engines.
Depending on how low you can get the subframe before the lift the body off the engine, you probably still have to lift the body about 4 feet.
