Can the oil pan on a 1990 240sx, KA24E, manual transmission, be removed without Loosening/removing the motor mounts and jacking the engine up?

I need to remove the pieces of a broken up chain guide....

Thanks in advance for the help.

remove the lower motor mount nuts ,place your floor jack under the front crank shaft with a small block of wood on it and pump it up till the engine lifts off the mount brace.

The old 90se is back together and running. The oil pan came off very easy with the motor mounts loosen, timing chain and tenisioner when one easy.

Thanks for the help.
