Ok what I DID which isn't the safest method, but I like to rely on my intellect when it comes to dangerous maneuvers.
Make sure you have a decent jack first off. I placed the jack straight in from the front of the car and supported the motor with a wooden block right under the harmonic balancer. Make sure you have the belt off. I was able to get all the up and down movement I needed.
Another safe measure would be to use jackstands as a backup placed on both sides of the oil pan in case it DID fall, you wouldnt be hammering the dents out of the oil pan.
