MHR is correct. Because the some of the front suspension and the crossmember will have to be dropped and because the wheels will hinder access to your body moving around under the car, jackstands are a big plus.
Tips from when I did my pan:
get a picture of the torque sequence for reference and tape it to the bottom of the pan. Use a magic marker and mark the bolt hole number near each hole. Sounds hokey but it made it a lot easier to tell where you are and when you're lying on your back, things look different.
Before you re-assemble the pan, clean the metal surfaces and the gasket with acetone. Removing the mold release on the rubber gasket helps the adhesive you'll put in the corners adhere better and prevent gasket creep.
Use dental floss in the holes to hold the gasket in place while you are manually threading the bolts in. Cut them off with a razor as each hole is bolted.
As you tighten each bolt by hand, the others will become loose again so you'll have to go over the hand tightening sequence many times.
Have fun.

Some people try to turn back their "odometers." Not me. I want people to know 'why' I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.
