69 Nova Oil Pan Replacement

Well - what I thought looked like a fairly easy job isn't.

I suppose I'll have to loosen the tranny mount bolts and raise the motor to replace a cracked oil pan. I don't think removing the center link will clear the crank in the front.

Would someone please confirm this before I go off on another tangent! :(

Thanks - Bert

Sorry but my books are in the shop if your post hasn't been answered in the AM I'll look it up for you. I think you can rotate the crank to gain the needed room but thats just a guess.
