Pulling the motor

Ok so I have everything disconnected in the Yukon. I lifted the motor and the oil pan isint clearing the cross member before the top of the intake hits the fire wall. Do I need to remove the tranny cross member to give the motor and tranny more tilt? Or am I doing something wrong here?

OH OH OH! ok i get it. I was trying to figure out what kinda jungle gym you had installed that needed that many bolts. now that you have described it like that it totally makes sense now. I only have 6 bolts. lol
