Oil Pan
I'm doing the cam swap and found some gunk in the front of my oil pan along with a slight tear in the gasket around one of the front pan bolts.
My question is this, without the intake and valve covers on the motor, can I get enough clearance between the crossmember and pan to remove it completely if I remove both motor mount bolts and lift?
Thanks in advance to anyone with knowledge. I've read about every single post on the subject and can't seem to find much other than it's a major PITA.95 Mystic Z28, 17x9 FR, 17x11 RR ZR-1's, Pacesetter LT's and Y-pipe, Borla adjustable, Moroso CAI, 2800 Stall, AC Delete, and Cracked Dash/broken lid Mod.

I did this on a lift before. I removed the motor mounts and used an engine hoist to pull the motor up and the oil pan will slide out the back. It's a little tight.. but it comes out. My motor was complete too. Starter has to come off too.

Thanks guys.
I pulled the motor mount bolts and got it high enough to pull. I think I jacked up the low oil sensor but that's 13 bucks on rockauto. Pulled starter obviously.
Now I'm waiting in my prothane poly mounts to come so I can kill the floor thump.
I suppose I should take some pics but I'm bad about shit like that.95 Mystic Z28, 17x9 FR, 17x11 RR ZR-1's, Pacesetter LT's and Y-pipe, Borla adjustable, Moroso CAI, 2800 Stall, AC Delete, and Cracked Dash/broken lid Mod.

He's saying based on your milage and if you have low oil pressure now would be a good time to change the oil pump also. Tubby has the part # for the "white" spring from gm that ups the oil pressure too.
