Narrative:

In sum: departure procedures and sids at sna are constantly changed and updated. Even so, each departure aircraft receives many controller changes and inputs. On the channel 1 departure under such busy conditions, the PF's departure chart was dropped. While reaching for the chart, the assigned altitude was overshot by approximately 300 ft.
