How do I complete a oil pan gasket repair on a mustang II with a 302, without pulling the motor.?

I got the pan to wiggle, but it's pinned in between the block and the rack and pinion. What can I do ?How do I complete a oil pan gasket repair on a mustang II with a 302, without pulling the motor.?
Two bolts and the steering rack is out of the way - a coulpe more on the engine mounts and the front of the engine can be jacked up high enough to wriggle the pan on out after dropping the oil pump and releasing the fan shroud.How do I complete a oil pan gasket repair on a mustang II with a 302, without pulling the motor.?
well if the cross member is right under the pan and you cant unbolt the cross member you are going to have to pull the engine dude. some of the crappy Chevy's you could do it without pulling the block but i think on your car your going to have to. so if your gonna do this i would suggest putting on new front and rear main seals if they have not been replaced already just it will save you from having to pull the block again. well i hope this helped. im sorry but i don't think its possible. remember Even if it seams like its got room to move you still have to clear the oil pump. well good luck. hope everything goes good.
doesn't it have a front sump and the rack is behind that and this would mean that you can lift the motor from the trans and clear the oil pump
Disconnect the motor mounts and jack up the engine, You may need to disconnect the tranny mounts as well.
