if you look, the sway bar is in the way of the front of the pan.

The pan will definitely not just fall off by itself. Get a paint scraper, at least 1" wide or so. If you get it into the joint between the oil pan and block, you can run it along and it will cut the seal.

It won't be the easiest thing, but it should work. You won't be able to do this without some sort of engine support from the top, though. if you're not comfortable with how it's going, call up a buddy - even a chevy guy should be able to help you. :D

Clean the mating surfaces and use a bead of RTV sealant along the edge of the oil pan to reinstall. Make sure you don't create any leaks.
