I recently pulled the pan on my car. I found that setting a block of 2x4 between the upper and lower mounts gave plenty of room to drop the pan without removing the oil pump. If you don't have lift hooks in place on your engine, pulling the carb and using a plate is a fairly quick and easy option.
The reason distributor roll pins shear is generally not fatigue, but trash being picked up in the oil pump and binding the rotors. I would srop the pan and clean it and the screen for the pick up and throw a fresh oil pump in while it is apart.
