I'm answering Ken Burton's question about the oil pan in a new thread.
I was able to pull the pan without pulling the front motor mount, but I did have to pull the steering bar off instead. It was easier to get to, plus I had the hoist on the rear of the engine already, so I just cranked her up a bit in the back, and with the flexplate off, I was able to clear the bearing caps by pulling the pan rearward, then tilting downward in the rear.
Assembly was a reverse, had to tap the pan forward after it was level with the block.
Two days and no leaks, but I haven't cranked her up yet either. Had a little non related glitch that will delay that a few days.
Later I'll publish some Do's and Dont's based on my transmission pulling experience this last week. I'd bet I could shave half the time and aggravation off next time.
John Ruff came over and was a big help. Two crazy people can figure this crap out!

Chris,
Don't understand how you could have a leak when the engine isn't running,
the oil level is below the gasket that joins the pan to the block is it not?

Probably, but the end gaskets drop pretty low, and the coach is on jackstands at an angle.
