3.08 gears aren't good but I ran for over a year with 2.73s and 33s with a 700R4.
You can find gear ratio calculators all over the place. Google is your friend.
I've taken my oil pan off to change main bearings and an oil pump on two different occassions. It isn't a lot of fun but it can be done. You've got to remove the inspection cover. If removing the starter isn't too much of a chore I'd remove that too. And the oil filter.
The hard part is getting the gaskets to play nice. I stick the gaskets on using Hi-Tack (copper impregnated sticky gasket spray) and use about twice as much silicone as normal at the front and rear main rubber pan seals. I always end up with a leaker for some reason. It's a two hour job if you're in the right frame of mind. I recommend washing the underside thorougly first.
