I've pulled the oil pan off an L6 with out disconnecting the sm465 tranny. You do have to let off the motor mounts and maybe tranny mounting bolts too, then jack up the rear with a 2x4 to keep the sheetmetal nice. It 's not easy but I've done it on my own, on my back with a hard dirt driveway. Disconnecting the tranny seems like too much.
