Yeah sort of!
Once you take the metal triangle off there is only about 6 foam pads on the tank holding it in the V. I would drain the tank first if your planning to do this and remove the pump and the fuel gauge sender.

they're held up by the filler neck and associated pipework clipped to the top. An empty tank will stay in place. Even a full tank held in with those foam pads and 25 years can still be a sod to take out on purpose!
