Thanks for the replies guys.  I've never dropped a K member before so 
wasn't sure how much work it would be.  But it does sound easier than 
lifting the engine, no matter how it's done.  
My homemade 7 qt. original pan was replaced because the machinist doing 
the work on my engine noticed some bubbling through the welds when he 
was pressure washing it.  So I'm just going to put that one back on.  
Can't remember if he changed the pickup tube with the new pan, but I 
don't think so.  
With this encouragement I might just start working on it this weekend.
