Lots and Lots of discussion on this subject on the forum.
Do a search. Most will tell you though that at the end of the day, removing the engine and trans will be quicker and less frustration. If there is a 1/4" of interference or 2" you still will not get the pan off and out unless you can really get the engine high.
Borrow two Pontiac friends, and the 3 of you will have the engine out in a 1/3rd of the time.
