Drain and recycle the oil. Remove all the bolts from the oil pan. Remove the oil pan. Oil pump is held in with 2 bolta. Remove old pump. When inserting new pump be sure it is sets properly and new gasket is used. Tighten pump . Using new gasket or sealant (parts store can tell you which is recommended) reinstall oil pan. Refill engine oil. ( this is a good time to go ahead and change the oil filter as well). Start car. If oil pressure gauge does not come up to pressure quickly shut engine off. Oil pressure should come up to normal level pretty quickly.
Unless you know for sure that the oil pump is bad or your just changing it for a high performance pump. These cars have an oil cooler that clogs up and causes problems. It is located at the bottom of the radiator, between the radiator and engine. About 18" long and 2" in diameter. It has the oil lines and the coolant lines running to it. Remove it, it can be disassembled and cleaned. there are a lot of fins in it and they clog easily. When they start to clog you lose oil pressure( oil light on) And the lifters start to rattle. Have friends on the police force and they said the coolers where a problem, until they put them on the maintenance schedule to be cleaned. If this is the problem your having , try this first. Replacing the oil pump is not a fun job. It is almost easier to pull the engine out.
you can get a A/C Delete kit for a Ford 4.6 liter. the 4.6 v-8 accessory drive system is all the same. You may also be able to run a line of string around the pullys, take it to your local auto parts store and they can match it up. I recomend the kit,
Some of them have an oil plug at the front of the pan, as well as the regular one. You have to drain them both. The front one only holds a quart or less.
What rims are on the car the steel police ones and what tires are on it could be hitting the stops on the frame and where the proper bolts put back in on the rack mounts and did you go with the heavy rack for the police car .Cause when I built them there was an issue with the proper bolts and there was a different rack for the cop cars the to the basic crown vic do to the suspension upgrade on it and the diffrent pump
