How hard is it to pull the oil pan on a turbo coupe 2.3l, manual trans? The reason is

From what I've heard it's a real pain to take out while the engine is in the car but it can be done
The engine will at least have to be lifted up
Another thing to consider is that for 87 turbo coupes, some came with the 4 piece oil pan gasket and some came with the 1 piece oil pan gasket. I've encountered both on 87 TCs
The 1 pc is all rubber and the 4 pc is rubber and cork
IIRC the 1pc has the same size bolt all around and the 4 pc has larger bolts towards the rear main and the front snout
You can guess which one will be harder to install especially since it's not a straight shot putting the pan back on
