This pic may help -- that's a double hump pan & you can see it's the front hump that requires clearancing the cross member.  If the bronco pan is the same depth @ the front, it'll need the cross member notch.  If it's deeper it probably won't work (would require you to notch it too much).  I can't imagine it's any shallower because that's where the oil pickup is.
