Default Leaking rear main....

Greetings - the rear main on my '68 GTO is leaking....questions....

1) I have to remove the crank to replace the rear main seal, correct?
2) If so, the engine needs to come out, correct?
3) Leave the engine in and do this repair with the car on a lift?
4) Can I just remove the crank but leave the rods / pistons etc. in place? (Yes, I know I have to take off the bottom caps of the rods....I'm not that stupid...)

I'm reluctant to do this because the engine runs so strong (if it ain't broke don't fix it) and if I have to tear down the engine, I may as well get a stroker kit which just is not in my budget right now.

Thanks.
