smoking from engine / oil loss

Feel free to try it that way.... I don't want to hear it later when you whine about how hard it was and after the job and getting it all back together you realized the front and rear main seals are leaking too.

I've pulled the pan by lifting the engine about a foot and a half and removing some of the lower obstructions... I haven't dropped the cross member and PS rack to get at it before... IMO all three are about as much labor as the others, but only one method of the three gives you good access to everything (including other things you should replace).
