Havent done a pan swap, but my dad and I are (slowly) working on a 617 swap into his 64 Dart GT. We're having close to the same problem with oil pan location. Our plan is to just weld in a new crossmember then cut the old one out. Let us know if you find something that will work though. I believe there is another member working on something similar here:

Just remembered he's trying to move the sump a little, not move it to the other side. Hope it helps though.

It can't be done unless you use an external dry-sump style oil pump.
