You do not need to remove the oil pan.You will have to replace the front section of the pan gasket were the timing cover bolts to.Also once the timing cover is off cover the front of the oil pan opening with tape or shop towels.This will prevent dropping gasket material and bolts etc from dropping into the pan.
