no one knows?

 

No the engine needs to be slightly lifted to remove the pan. Unbolt it from the mounts. That should give you just enough room to remove it.

 

The engine needs to be lifted as much as possible in the engine bay. Then drop the pan bolts. This should give you enough room to work inside the pan and remove the oil pump pickup tube. Once that is removed, you can get the pan out. Reverse to install.
