if it is the 32 valve northstar V8, yes, the service manual states you need to pull the engine to change the oil pan and/or gasket. if you have access to a rack or a lift though, the easier thing to do is to use a brace to support the engine, and lower the subframe under the car a few inches(or, totally disconnect the subframe and let it all sit on the floor. this will give you enough clearance to replace the oil pan. it'll be a tight fit, but it will be MUCH easier than removing the whole engine assembly
