Hell yes, if the motor is out of the car then pull the pan!
On reassembling only use a cork rear pan seal aided with gray type gasket maker that you let set up over night.

Thanks Steve...........so if im reading you right, your saying get rid of the bop one piece.

Couple pics of what i have here, im thinking i could drop the pan enough to see where the tape is..............thinking it might be a pain to reseal the way it sits......

I do have a stand in the basement with a block on it..........guess i could get the block off it, take apart and get it upstairs............oh boy.

The one pic seems to have alot of goop in the cornors.............does this look right to you guys...........no idea on how old my oil pan is, wondering if i should start with a new one.

Gonna see if i can scrape up a bore scope..............or mess with the shop vac for a few hours before calling that a failure. lol
