if you have not done it yet .i did mine last week.
when the sump is dangling down you will see thin rubber gasket on sump.this fits onto a tray that goes all the way across the sump, above oil pick up pipe.ease this off carefully it goes all around sump.when this comes off the sump will drop off leaving the tray fixed to the engine.hope this helps.it took me half a day to find out and ten minutes to remove sump after.chicksfan calls it a spacer,that`s what threw me.

It will be the spacer plate that sits between the sump and block. You'll need to gently use a bar to lever it away.
See:
i`ve removed all the bolts and the sump drops about half an inch and then sticks.It will not move to the side as if there was something in the sump holding it.

There are two bolts hidden by the flywheel end of the sump pan, then try tapping on the pan with a soft mallet or try driving a plastic wedge into the gap between the block and pan
