You have to drop the oil pan just an inch or 2 but it does not have to come all the way out. Pretty much unbolt it and let it sit on the K member.

A gear wrench is your best friend when it comes to unbolting the oil pan.

A 10mm gear wrench is a standard pre-requisite for working on any LS1 based car.
