The Ford Barn

I have a 38 ford tudor sedan that has been leaking for years. Its getting out of control and I need to replace the gaskets. I plan to try jacking up the engine first but will remove if needed. Engine is a 1940.
1) If I have to pull the engine, is it recommended to remove the grill? space seems tight
2) While I have the oil pan off or engine out are there other things I should consider doing without pulling in apart? It was fully rebuilt about 12 years ago and has less than 15K miles since.
3) I don't want to do this again - your recommendations will be appreciated on best gasket source. I am considering one from the early ford store in CA.
4) can you recommend the best source for step by step to remove the pan?

Thanks much
