What engine?
Most stock engines for '65-'79 can be lifted up about 2-3 inches, which is enough to remove the pan.
You will need to lift the engine, slide 2x4 blocks under the mounts, and drop the oil pan onto the cross member.
Next, reach up and unbolt the oil pump, and drop it into the pan.
Work the pan out.
Installation is reverse.
When lifting the engine, watch for radiator hose leaks, fuel line leaks and most importantly: the accelerator cable wedging up against the firewall.
I have done this job without draining the coolant, but my hoses were new and a little longer, so they didn't need to stretch.
I almost broke the accelerator cable, though, so be careful. They aren't cheap, if you can find one.
