Can I swap rear end without removing brakes?

Hi, I have a 94 camaro and already had the rear end swapped, so I already have disk brakes in the back. I want to swap it for another rear I have and was wondering if I could swap in the other rear end without disconnecting the brakes (hang them to side or something). Thanks.

There is a "tee" block bolted to the top of the differential housing, to split the single rubber line into the two metal lines that run along the axle tubes. Make sure you unbolt that block, and pull up the metal clips that hold the brake lines on the tubes. Also unbolt the bent wire "eyes" that hold the e-brake cables to the diff cover bolts.

Thanks for the replies, I figured the "T" was just unbolted but wasn't sure about the metal clips holding the brake lines that run along the axle tube, Those clips actually look like they're welded on so thanks for letting me know they just pull up.
