Oil pan removal

Is there a way to remove the oil pan from a 1998 Mercury Villager without removing a ton of other parts?

According to the online service manual you need to disconnect motor mounts a/c line bracket, crossmenber, exhaust inlet pipe, and transaxle mounts.

Look at the online service manual procedure, should not be that bad. I am just going by what the manual says not experience.

Also check the Service manual thread (FSM), different than the online service manual.

Hope this helps.
