When i pulled the valve covers off i noticed a lot of slack in my timing chain (passenger rear) i figured it was the tensioner which i replaced and then realized there is no guide. Would someone be able to tell me if i can replace the timing chain guide without pulling the entire engine?

You can but you will need to separate the transmission, try the search function as there are many posts about it.
