Theres a lot of shavings that go into the pan when you drill and tap a hole. I imagine you dont have to... but its your motor 
I had most of my motor off for the turbo install, so my pan came off easy. I also didnt have the tranny in.

Yep. No oil pan drain. Straight into the timing cover. We had to trim the inside of the fitting. Absoultly no problems.
