It's been a while since I've worked on a 1st gen engine in a 1st gen. I can't remember if there's room to get the pan off without picking the engine up or not. If you have to pick the engine up to remove the pan, you might as well yank it IMO. You're half way there. And if you have my luck, there will be more issues than a light spun bearing.
