Changing out oil pan gasket

Ok guys, I'm fairly new at this and I'm sure it's been discussed before. I want to change out my oil pan gasket and I've read that you have to lift the engine. I've got a 360 in a '67 Dart. I see I have to pull the steering linkage but is there any easier way to do it than lifting the engine? And if not, could someone explain the procedure to a newbie? I'd really appreciate it! Thanks!
