Oil Pan Bolts

[Audiowner@aol.com]

I am in the process of tearing down my NA KZ engine to replace the head gasket
and want to check out the status of the bearings and oil pump pickup screen.

1- Can the oil pan be dropped without dropping the cross member?

2-How do I get the last two bolts at the back of the pan out?   I can't even
see them because they are under the cross member.

Car is an automatic.

Any help or BTDT's will be appreciated!
