86 300SDL oil pan removal

I hit the oil pan very hard at speed. There is a small crack that leaks oil. Has anyone pulled the oil pan off of a 603? Is there enough clearance to jack up the engine with engine mounts removed to get the pan free of the suspension?

I am hoping I can lift or raise the engine and trans without removing, to get clearance to remove the pan.

Thank you Plutoe,
As soon as the rain stops and I can find a good used oil pan I will tackle the job.
