If clearance from the cross member is the problem (versus steering linkage), you do not have to lift the engine from above. Remove the front motor mount bolts, jack up the engine from beneath about an inch at the front mounts and put some sort of spacer (board, stack of washers) on each mount. Use a board between the jack and pan to spread the load - the pan will take it. Let the engine down on the spacers and remove the jack. You should then have enough room to get the pan past the front cross member.
