It was good thing we did some of the engine work outside and used a dolly to move the engine between the shop and outside, because here in this picture, the tilting of the engine caused fluids to spill out. The dolly was a wooden dolly that Fred had built with spare wheels and we screwed some L-shaped pieces of wood together to snuggly hold the engine.
The bolts for the oil pan came out easily like most of the bolts on the engine. In the picture below, Chris is prying the oil pan off by breaking the gasket seal.
It's hard to tell in this picture but there is a 1/4" layer of oil sludge at the bottom of the oil pan.
A look at the underside of the engine.

Forgot to mention that I spend a good 30 minutes to 1 hour cleaning the oil pan. The stubborn old gasket needed to be scraped off and the sludge and gunk needed to be scooped out. After that it was back to kerosene scrub down and water/air pressure rinse.
