Your still going to have to access the spark plug hole(s) for either test.
The leak down test, at least you don't have to hook up the battery.
My leak-down tester has numerous spark plug adapters(different sized threads) and then snaps onto a hose that goes to the unit.

The hose is pretty flexible but you how tight is in there.
You may very well have to remove the battery box (I'd think the radiator could stay) and go straight down.
