You will need to remove the engine mounting bolts. Position a floor jack under the transmission and raise the engine/transmission assembly slightly in order to drop the pan the rest of the way out. Sometimes you can wiggle and jiggle that sucker out with a little wiggling and a lot of patience , but if the access whole is just too small then you will have to jack up the engine/tranny slightly.
