I removed my oil pan by removing the motor mount bolts (the 2 long ones) , lifting the engine as high as possible & put wooden blocks inbetween the motor mount halves, one side @ a time, I did not have a engine hoist when I did this.
Pan came right out & that is when I installed a standard volume oil pump to replace the HP HV pump.

Intercooler, methanol injection will do wonders.
