If it's an L-48 it's a 2-bolt main, which means 'L' motor...I think.

That's one of the gifts from the Chevrolet Gods about these cars, you can drop the pan without going through all that B.S.

That's what I thought at first, but I tried unbolting the idler arm, and that was a PITA. I didn't want to separate the tie rod end, so I gave the mounts a shot and it went smooth and fast. A jack, a ratchet, and viola. Lifted and in prolly ten minutes I was half way through the pan bolts.
