Engine hesitates. Looking for location of camshaft sensor in the engine. Can I remove without having to remove the camshaft itself?

You'll want to replace the synchronizer drive as well because that's what takes out the sensor! The bushings in it go bad and the shaft moves around enough to impact the sensor.
