Depends on the oil pan gasket(s) you use but yeah that's basically all there is to it. Its not real hard its just some of the positions you have to get into. To reinstall the bolts I used a deep well socket stuffed with some paper towel and a long extension. I put just enough paper towel in the socket that the bolt would go into the socket but not much. It helped out a lot on the ones you can't reach to finger tighten them. For the oil pan gasket I used a Felpro (permaseal?) One piece oil pan gasket. Its like 25.00 but you get all new hard ware, four screw in plastic pens that align the oil pan up and the gasket.
