when you want help give as MUCH info as you can
you dint say what engine or tranny you had ... my ESPn LOL is not as good as it use to be ... so i will go with it being a V8 & auto
yes it can but it is not easy at all ... and being a van makes it even harder
remove every thing in the way of jacking the engine up as high as it will go
dont for get the fan shroud ... try and see if you can move the pan around and get it out if you cant you will have to unbolt tranny and move it back a couple inches ... might sound like a lot, but pulling the engine is a lot more work

Much better......
**
Remove negative cable from battery and remove engine cover.
Unbolt radiator shroud and move it back over the fan (place cardboard between fan blade and radiator).
Raise vehicle and place on jack stands....... drain oil.
Unbolt crossover at the manifolds if single exhaust.
Remove torque converter inspection cover.
Turn crankshaft so the timing mark is pointing straight down.
Remove through bolts from motor mounts.
Use a floor jack with a block of wood (I use 3/4" plywood) to protect the pan......make sure it is big enough to spread the weight out over the entire surface of the bottom of the pan.
Raise engine 3" and place blocks of wood under the motor mounts to support the engine. Be careful when raising the engine and make sure the dist and radiator do not get damaged.
Remove floor jack and unbolt the pan....tilt the back of the pan downward and work it out of the vehicle.
**Suggested method per manual.
Have fun...and good luck.

JB weld is a great product. If applied correctly could last for ever.
