Default Fixing the leaking rear main going to drop the oil pan/crossmember clearance issue?

Going to tackle the age old issue of a leaking rear main with a buddy of mine on my '68 GTO 400 w/TH400 - we plan on dropping the oil pan and lowering the crank just enough to r&r the seal...questions...

1) Will the oil pan clear the trans crossmember?
2) If not - suggestions?
3) Unbolt the trans, drop the drive shaft...anything else?

I'm installing a Viton BOP seal - the last two I did worked flawlessly.
I'm a bit reluctant to do this as my car runs so good....and if it ain't broke (other than an annoying oil leak) don't fix it!

Suggestions and/or pictures appreciated - thanks!
