greddy install with w/a intercooler
thank you od and hw8 all good things to consider. saterday i finally removed the air pump. wow it makes alot more room i dont have a cat so ne need to just leave it in the car. i did take the factory bracket that holds it in and the resister for fuel pump and drilled the spot welds that hold the two peices together so i could bolt the resister back in with a factory look.
That cool, also look into the racing beat air pump block off plate, it's $10.00.
Just use a plastic puddy knife to remove the old RTV, a metal one will mar the mating surface. Also make sure when you are applying new RTV do not get it in the bolt holes.
and tighten the oil pan bolts VERY carefully, only hand snug. They can strip easily.
Tak a look in your oil pan at the amount of oil that did not drain out. You will be surprised.

I used steel in fine grade, it polished the surface clean and got the job done a whole lot faster once I removed the major stuff with a knife blade 
buying a new pan is also an option; not that expensive, no clean up, no concern about the rails being straight or not, etc.
