Dropping oil pan #$@#$ so i thought i was going to drop the oil pan down this afternoon and tap it for my oil lines... well
whats the fastest way to get the pan off, i think unbolting the motor mounts then jackin up the motor would do the trick, but were talking 4-5 inches of clearence..
any advice would help!

I really doubt you'll have enough clearance to drop the pan by just unbolting the motor mounts and jacking up the engine/tranny. You'll hit the floorboard and only have a few inches of clearance between the oil pan and K-member. You have to lower the K-member a bit in order to have enough clearance to drop the pan. Good luck, it's no picnic.
There has been some better instructions posted before but the gist of it is....
Remove A/C
Remove alternator
Unbolt motor mounts
Unbolt steering shaft
Support motor from top
Drop k-member

Unbolt motor mounts
