1986 2.9 oil pan removal

Hi, I'm looking for any tips to remove the oil pan off a 1986 ranger, 2.9L. It's unbolted but gets hung up on the oil pump and won't clear the dual ibeams, even when i jack up the frame. any help is welcome!

You need to remove the top of the intake and the destributor. Unbolt the motor mounts. Then you can jack it up enough to clear the pump.

Thanks for the tip, it was greatly appreciated. Today I managed to change the rear diff yoke seal, flywheel, clutch, oil pan gasket, and get everything bolted back up. Tomorrow I just need to bleed the clutch and add fluid. Also spent some time to sand down the oil pan and paint it with ford blue enamel.
