It can be done, but you need a good floor jack and some pieces of 2x6 wooden blocks-remove the motor mounts on both sides after you have placed the jack/wood under the crankshaft pulley-it helps to also place another jack ( like a bottle jack) under the trans bellhousing so all the weight is not on the front of the crank-raise the engine enough to get clearance to reach all the bolts, and tap the pan and /or use a wide bladed tool to break the gasket loose so you can manuver the pan out.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO PULL THE WHOLE MOTOR! ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS REMOVE THE MOTOR MOUNT BOLTS, AND JACK THE MOTOR UP JUST HIGH ENOUGH TO CLEAR THE CROSSMEMBER, AND OIL PUMP!
