I doubt it. The bell housing and the oil pan don't play together nicely. When reassembling my 59 AB, I tried to install the bell housing after the pan was on - didn't work.
Your mileage may vary.

FortyNiner, my bell housing is cast as part of the block, so I don't think I should have that issue. It looks to me like I should be able to pull the starter, loosen all the pan bolts, including the transmission attachment to the pan extension, and bring the whole thing down to expose the bottom end.
I guess what I'm looking for here is "yes, you can do it this way" or "no, you can't and will have to pull the engine or the trans."
I did this rear seal replacement on my '39 59AB, with the crank lowered enough to do the top and bottom seal replacement, but I pulled the engine and worked on it with the block upside down on my stand. It was a total leak stop success.
I'm trying for something like that here.
Thanks for responding.
