You'll disconnect the negative battery cable, remove the front crossmember if it's in the way, remove the throughbolts in the motor mounts, hoist the engine for clearance, and remove the pan.
Caution: Don't pry on the pan, the gasket is integrated in the windage tray and doesn't come off with the pan.
