Swapping Oil Pans on a LS7

Swapping Oil Pans on a LS7
Had a LS7 built for my 69 Camaro. Went with a wet sump system using a C6 LS2 pan, etc. After much tweaking, realized that the LS2 pan won't clear my aftermarket subframe despite the manufacturer's claim that it would do so.
I now have to swap the LS2 pan, windage tray and oil pump pick up screen for a LS1 F body tray, tube and pan.
My question is: Can I CORRECTLY swap the pick up screen tubes without removing the front cover and un-bolting the oil pump?
I ask because of all of the traffic about the blue O ring binding, etc.
Thanks in advance.

Check,
my question is: Can I get the pick up tube with blue O-ring on the pump with out having the pump loose. In theory I should be able to, however, if you type Blue Oring in the search window, you get all sorts of tales of what a PITA it is to get the tube to mount in the pump w/o binding.
