It has been a while since I did this job, I don't remember how much room you would have. I doubt lifting the engine up will give enough, it hardly gives enough room to replace the engine mounts. But if you also drop the frame but not disconnect the axles to hang down you may have enough room, or you may not. It will be awkward trying to get the oil pan back up as the axles and differential will be additional weights.
You can give it a try.
