Default LT-4 Timing Cover Removal

This is my first time getting into my Lt-4. After finally getting the hub off; gee the old puller that worked on my '69 won't work on the '96; it's time to take the timing cover off.
Will it come off without pulling the oil pan? Shop manual sez to pull the pan but my experience with the old stamped steel covers tells me I don't really have to.
Could someone with more experience offer advise?

Thanks,

if you really want to do the job right, you will need to drop the pan. or its going to leak.

It's not like I'm at the track trying to make the next session.
I'll pull the pan.
Thanks,
