Ok, I will give it a shot. If I can't get it to go, then I may need to add it later. I don't have a truck to go pick up the hoist, so prob couldn't do it easily/quickly. Needs to be done this weekend so I am ready for middleburg........

dc,
Getting the tray is a fine idea. Just remember it will lower the pan by the thickness of it and the additional gasket. That means you should check the pump pickup to pan floor dimension to make sure you have the recommended .250" to .375" clearance and not more.

Absolutely right, and I had completely 100% forgotten that and would have continued to have forgotten it even if I was there in the garage doing the work myself. Nice catch, ERAChas.
