The Ford Barn

I intend to remove both water pumps. I have removed radiator and fan assembly, as well as mounting bolts from both water pumps - except for the one mounting bolt inside the water pump. I have been spraying "P.B. Blaster" and Koil up inside the chamber where the bolts remain. I have no welder, nor access to one. I suppose my options are - 1. they come out with a socket wrench or -2. they twist off and I would expect to then have to pull motor and transport to a machine shop.
What am I missing that would help - before I use socket?
Also, If, by some miracle, the bolts come out - what is a good way to raise motor, so I can install new pumps and motor mounts. Can I use floor jack on bottom of oil pan without doing damage? That would work best for me - if possible.

Help is appreciated
