    Not a clue. However, I did some searching for you and didn't turn up much. Though, I swear that torqueautomotiv or someone did a write up somewhere:

    Well, get under there and check out the bolts. Check out the clearance to get at them. Maybe think about how much easier it would be to crank the engine up a few inches. Look like you can get the pan out?

    Then it's a slightly bigger job than you hoped. So, you could pull the engine and work on it on a stand or remove parts as you go in from the bottom, I guess.

    this is my concern...I read somewhere that an engine stand is needed to support the engine.

    I decided to let my GM mechanic friend perform the work---it took him about 6.5 hours...He is absolutely fantastic and meticulous about his work...He serviced the injectors, throttle body, replaced---both belts, LIM gasket, v/c gaskets, changed the oil and flushed the radiator. All parts were GM OEM replacements...I get a very favorable discount when buying parts from GM. The engine looks better than new...My next project is the oil pan gasket.
