Remove V8 oil pan on a '37 Ford Sedan

[[email protected]]

Is it possible to remove a V8 oil pan from a '37 Ford Sedan while the motor is in the car? I have all the pan and appropriate transmission bolts out, the the starter is removed as is the wishbone. The pan is loose and I've jacked the motor up as far as it will go (breather hits the firewall) and I can't clear the front crossmember and the crank counterweight to get it out. Are there any tricks? I hate the thought of pulling the motor to change a leaky front seal. Thanks.
