Yes, but I wouldn't recommend it. You first need to have access to the underside of the engine, you also need access to the cylinder heads. Removing the cylinders to get to the rings involves dropping the oil pan, then you need to remove the cylinder heads. The next step is to remove the end caps from each of the connecting rods. From there, you can push the cylinder up and out. Caution, be sure to make a note of where each part came from. Each part has worn in a specific and unique way different from the other parts.

If your 305 isn't using oil and you are rebuilding engine should you replace rings?
It would be wise to replace the rings while you have it apart. Need to deglaze the cylinder walls and install a new set of STEEL Rings. Do not use CHROME RINGS because they will not seat. And it will use oil then. Why are you rebuilding the engine in the first place? If parts of the engine are worn it would be reasonable to assume that the rings and/or cylinders are also worn. To do it right, have the cylinders tested for "taper", that will show you how much wear the cylinders have experienced, and if there is much taper you'll need to bore the engine and replace the pistons/rings. Tapered cylinders mean that the rings will constantly be moving against the piston ring groves. Also, check the piston ring groves for wear. If the ring grove is excessive the pistons will fail soon and the money you put into the rebuild will be wasted. Personally, I would never rebuild an engine without AT LEAST replacing the rings, even if there is no appreciable cylinder taper, and experience suggests that it's not even a good idea to reuse pistons. Odds are against an engine lasting very long if you reuse pistons that have much use.
