Oooohhh... Not an easy one this.

We had to replace the oil pump on mine recently as it split while tightening everything up after doing the cam belt.

We found it easier using one of those engine hoists that sits in the engine bay, removing the sub-frame, engine mounts and dropping the engine down enough to give access. From there, we slackened everything off, which was just enough to remove the pump while in-situ.

Good luck.
