Yes it can be done without pulling the engine. Jack the car up so the front end hangs free. Support the car on jack stands on the frame. Disconnect the wishbone at the ball. Use a modern scissor jack to move the wishbone ball away from its socket. It needs to be moved about 10””. Remove the starter then remove the pan. You will need to rotate the crank so the front counter weight is up to get the pan off. It is a bit of a PIA, but it is doable.
