Make sure you get a DUAL piston return springs. They require more seat pressure if you got them with rings.

I need to change out my oil pan gasket as well. I am pretty sure that is where my leaks are coming from.

If they go by the book, they will pull the engine by dropping the K member. are you sure its the pan gasket leaking and not say the oil pressure sender or a seal?
Honestly the best way to change the OP gasket in my opinion is to just pull the motor because you will always find somthing else like a bad motor mount, rear main seal etc, pulling the motor from the top or bottom is not all that bad, having the right tools is the key here.
