Replacing power steering box

I know it sounds crazy, but could you put the front end up on jack stands, hook onto the engine with a engine hoist, then unbolt, motor mounts, a-arms and k-member bolts, lowering the whole k-member down far enough to swap out the steering box and button everything back up?
I too have a leaking power steering box on my 69 Barracuda with 440 and Schumachers stuffed into it. It may be easier and quicker than yanking the engine.
Just throwing it out there?
