Using a jack under the gearbox, the engine mounts have enough 'give' to let you lift the engine just enough to get that extra bit of clearance. Some have also removed the oil pump pick up pipe, but it's not necessary and a bit of a fiddle when re-assembling.

 

Did just what you said... the pan fell out of the car...THANKS!!!

 

hi astromorg... I saw your name in several places related to the transfer case... would greatly appreciate it you can walk me through reinstalling the transfer case... perhaps we can talk by phone and I will compensate you... please reach me at 404.277.2312

Being in UK, that could be a costly phone call!
