89crew,
I didn't have to lift the engine when I removed the oil pan on my truck. I've taken it off a couple of time. If you crank the engine so that the crankshaft is a position so that you have clearance for the oil pan to clear the crossmember when you slide it out. You do have to remove the bell housing first.
