i have never taken the oil pan off while the engine was in car. if i were to do it i would take the crossmember out. it will be a pain in the a$$ if you dont, that engine is going to have to pulled way up to clear the oil pickup in the pan. removing the crossmember is not all that hard, and you can clean it all up while its out.
