No I didn't remove it, but it does occur to me that it prety hairy
removing most of the bolts that hold in a gasketed cast part the oil
pump) to do another job (the TB/WP), since they hold the back TB cover
on as well.

Seems like a great opportunity to mess up that gasket.  And you can't
pull the oil pump without dropping the oil pan to remove the oil pickup,
either.

I hope I don't have to do this...
