[Python] how can I access particular y and x axis using ax = fig.add_subplot(3, 3, i +1), for...

It seems accessing axis is easy with

fig, ((ax1, ax2,ax3,ax4)) = plt.subplots(2, 4,figsize=(10,8),layout='tight')
subfigs = fig.subfigures(2, 4)


For example, if I want the ticks (labeling too) on the y-axis of two rows (first column) and the x-axis on the second row only, I can use a particular ax(i) for them. However, with ax = fig.add_subplot(3, 3, i +1), it removes labelling and tricks of all the axes while using plt.setp(ax.get_xticklabels(), visible=False). How can I access a particular axis with the latter case (only y of the first column and x of the last row for labeling and ticks, rest to be off)? Thanks....
