Default Can you drop oil pan on Fox w/AJE K member?

Anyone ever tried to remove their oil pan with the motor installed? I have a leaking oil pan gasket and need to drop this thing to do it right. Need to drill the rivets and put a new gasket on. Figured id ask before i try it since i need to remove my hotside crossover on my turbo to have it drop. AJE Kmember with Fbody oil pan.

I bet you need to take the 2 center bolts out of the trans cross member and the 2 motor mount bolts and lift the motor a inch or 2...

thats what im thinking but figured id see if anyone tried it and what they had to do if it didnt drop. I could probably unbolt the motor mounts, and unbolt my turbo from the frame and lift the entire thing if i need.
