According to Haynes, some sort of structural collar has to come off as well as a lateral bending brace. Even more things have to come off if you have the turbo model.

is that the bar thing under the starter? and where is this bending thing? thanks for the help and no it's not a turbo

I'd show you pictures but my scanner is out of commission right now. The collar is right there at one end of the pan and is held on by only a couple of bolts. Besides mentioning it, the bending brace isn't shown on any of the pictures. You should be able to see what's in the way of taking the pan out.
