I don't think so. I've never had the seat back out of the car, but I'm pretty sure there's a big chunk of sheet metal there. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
At one time I was actually considering cutting into the tank from right there. I have a little experience working with sheet metal, and I figured I could pretty easily cut a circle out of the tank and fabricate an access hole cover. But then my hero, Avos, invented a superior fuel line removal tool, and I didn't need to resort to metal mangling solution.

I've finished, and the car has started for the first time under my ownership today.
Removing the lines and re-sinking them is really not all that bad after having done it. Just takes a little patience and wherewithal.
For those that want to hack and slash due to impatience, by all means, cut up your sheet metal. For me, I like the machine preserved as it is, and I also like to avoid fumes in the cabin.
Thank you to all those who have supported me in my endeavor, and my introduction to this forum!

As a mechanic working other peoples cars, you should not just cut up the customer's car.
When I worked at the dealer I probably would have been terminated if I took it upon myself to cut out a body section to shortcut a repair.
I appreciate that people can do whatever they want to their own car but..................
There were times when the customer ASKED to perform a repair by cutting or drilling to save labor but usually at an independent repair facility.
They understood the procedure and agreed.
