One more thing as you prepare for the task. I can't recall if the bolts on the auto tranny pan were T30 or T25, but those two rear most bolts were a real pain it the ass to access. I have torx socket bits, but there's not enough clearance between the crossmember and the rear most bolts to use those bits. I had to use a small torx bit with a 1/8" drive socket wrench + small bit holder to get in there, and even that was a pain I had to cut maybe 3/16" off the end of the bit to have enough clearance to fit it in there. I was in a pinch and wasn't going to stop the job to run to the store as I didn't have a real bit driver. It's probably going to be worse for you wrangling with the exhaust cross over there. The best thing is probably the appropriate bit and a ratcheting bit driver to get in there. Just be prepared for that part.
