Tappet removal question

I have searched this subject quite a bit. I have found some good write up's on cam and tappet removal and replacement. In everything I have read. I see the tappets pulled from the front of the block through the cam bore. Is this easier than pulling the tappet cover? With the tappet cover removed. Does this allow the tappets to be removed through the side of the block? My cylinder head is off right now. The engine is still in the truck. Im assuming I would have to pull the vp. That wouldnt be to tough considering its all apart anyway. Whats my best bet here?
