1967 Monaco 383 oil pan drop

Hi all,
I'm anticipating surprises here. I have to drop the pan off my 383. Thus far, I've disconnected the Y pipe, which actually gave me precious little more clearance as the driver side inlet to the exhaust rests on the t bar... I know I'll have to drop the center link off the idler and the pitman... still, looking at it, I can imagine that that won't be enough.

Any experience with this? Am I being too optimistic in thinking that I won't have to jack the engine?

I mean, whatever I gotta...
