This is theoretical as I have not done this but: If you have the car raised in the front (on jackstands or ramps) the oil level should be below the hole.

Don't want to remve whole engine right now before winter at my driveway.

- There is any chance to put those parts backwards or both can be installed in different orientation?

Remove it slowly and keep track of orientations. Take photos. Have a helper who can assist with the visuals.
