Default cam swap question (oil pan)

Is there anyway to get the oil pump off without dropping the pan?

Also, can you get the cam out by removing the transmission crossmember and tilting the engine upwards??

. To get the cam out you need to remove everything from the front of the engine. Such as: radiator, fans, condenser, water pump, crank pulley, etc.

No taking the crossmember off wont give you enough angle to remove the cam. The motor mounts wont flex that much.
