I received the one piece pan gasket and put it in.

I had to lift the engine 9 inches above the motor mounts to remove the old pan by twisting it 90 degrees counter clockwise (looking at it from the bottom). The power steering hose was quite tight but I don't think it was hurt.

I removed the throttle cable, radiator hoses, cruise control line to pump, fuel line to rail (pressure line), and bolt from the bracket around the main electrical bundle to the oil breather. The other lines and cables were long enough to go the 9 inches.

The old pan is paper thin in places, I'm glad I changed it. The old gasket was a 3-piece gasket. So, was the 3-piece gasket used when the engine was made or it strictly a replacement gasket??? I'm wondering if someone has had the pan off before me??? The odometer is at 193K miles. I know the transmission has been out since there is electrical tape around the solenoid wire.

Thanks to Art Benstein, Lucid, and all the others who responded.
