Well, I lifted the engine as far as I dare and I still didn't have enough room to get it out. I ended up cutting it out.
Two things keep it from coming out.
1) the oil pump is so close to the rear of the pan that you have to drop it straight down and the lip catches on the tranny,
2) The front drive shaft is in the way and prevents the front of the pan from dropping straight down, thereby allowing you to get by the oil pump in the rear.
I am going to try to lower the front differential to get some more clearance when I install the new pan. If that doesn't work then I may either cut the interfering hump out of the new one and weld in a flat piece or dent it so it clears the shaft unless someone has a better idea.
