It certainly is and ... the engine removed does not automatically mean removing the bonnet.....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RARlpuixyTI&t=667s

I left ours on too, held it up with a length of rope from the boot lid handle.

If you do choose to remove your bonnet, it’s simply a case of removing the hinge nuts and bonnet stay, with someone supporting it.

I should add, for the sake of clarity, that if you wish to tie the bonnet back as Kevin suggested, you will have to disconnect the bonnet stay so that the bonnet will go fully back. Advisable to have a few blankets to protect the windscreen and paintwork.
