Having done the oil pan according to Volvo Service manual, with input from Bentley and some lazyness, an engine hoist is worth the price. Takes about two hours including lunch.

If using any engine lifting method, DISCONNECT the upper radiator hose from the radiator. The plastic necks love to break as the hose stretches. (Shared cost reduction experience)

As raidman said, lifting the engine makes it easier, !!after disconnecting !!AND REMOVING the engine mounts. This simple step allows the oil pan to !!ROTATE 90 degrees and clear everything by just coming straight down. No need to bash baffle plates. Just turn the pan either right or left and remove. Engine mounts must be off.

Suggest while pan off, replace the cranckcase breather oil trap drain hose. You will find it brittle after all these years and will quite possibly damage it during pan removal.
