If clearance is a problem you may need to remove the bolts on the engine mounts, loosen the transmission mount and jack the engine up a few inches to clear the pickup tube.
Having owned a few Fords with bad oil pan gaskets and going to dozens of guys with 10- 30+ years of experience with Ford motors along with my own ideas how to get things done smarter, not harder, there is no way. You don't have to FULLY remove the motor, but you do have to raise it 1" up off the motor mounts, not a few inches. First remove your throttle cables, then your upper intake that says 5.0 which will give you room to raise the engine without the upper intake hitting the firewall. Unbolt the transmission from the crossmember. With a jack if your risky or safer with an engine lift, raise the engine 1" up off the motor mounts and place blocks of wood in between the engine and mounts. Next lower the engine back down so it's still in the truck. the carefully drop the pan and the oil pump screen into it. Clean the pan surface, inside it, maybe replace the oil pump while you're down there, put the new gasket back on with sealant. For good measure let it set up. Put everything back into place and you will need a new gasket for your upper intake that you removed. Then once the pan gasket is ready to hold oil, dump it in and you're set. Don't forget to use the manuals specs for torquing the oil pan bolts, engine mounts and crossmember for your transmission.
