And just in case it wasn't clear...you should NOT jack up the motor by the oil pan.
Yes you can, the oil pan can handle the weight of the engine. Just use a phone book or a roll of paper towel to spread the weight. You do realize that when you lower the engine back down with mounts out you're supposed to put a 2x4 on top of the k-member which the oil pan then rests on.
OP, also be sure to loosen (not remove) the mounting nut at the rear of the transmission.
