Make sure you have a spotter, chock it, and you should be okay.
I prefer jackstands, but if you're jacking points are suspect, then you gotta do what you gotta do.

When I did the 240D's driveshaft, I recall needing to turn it to get at all the bolts. Maybe that won't be the case on this car, as the bolts aren't as rusty (most parts of this car are pretty clean, actually ... just not the rockers  ). Ramps are probably worth considering though ... if nothing else I can at least change the ugly-looking exhaust hangers!
