Is it possible to remove pan without lifting motor? Thanks.

No. The motor only has to go up enough to put some pieces of 2 x 4 between the motor mounts and stands.

Depends - I can remove stock or aftermarket oil pans off my Big block without jacking up the engine
You may have to spin the crank to get the crank arms on the front of the crank out of the way so you can clear them and pull the pan towards the back

the key way on the crank needs to be pointing to 6oclock
