I've taken the valve cover off of a 7A before. It's really not a big deal at all. There's some wiring that goes over the left (passenger) side of the valve cover that have to come off, then it's a few bolts and it comes right off with some prying from a flathead screwdriver. I recommend, while you are in there, replacing your valve cover gasket too. They aren't expensive at all.
