Default Newbe Question

Attempting to remove the oil pan on an 07 GT, I can see I need to either:

1. Lift the engine
2. Drop the tranny (manual)
3. Drop the cross member

Can somebody throw me a bone here and let me know which is the quickest?

I can see no bolt holes to connect my cherry picker to, are there holes that I can place a bolt inot to lift the engine slightly?

My Fox is sooo easy, but this new tech seems to be blocking me at every turn. If I ever get this thing off and the oil return line installed I'll post some pictures of the Turob install.

Thanks for any guidance you can provide

AFTER READING HIS POST, i would conclude he is trying to install an oil return line. Now im no genious, but maybe doing that requires the oil pan to be removed. I dunno, not big into turbos and their return lines
