Do other people really remove the steering linkage to get the pan off? Doesn't seem like you should have to do that.....?

It depends on your definition of "remove"; in my view you are not removing the linkage or in any altering it's dimensions or alignment, you are simply "lowering" it out of the way by disconnecting the idler arm from the frame. Yes, you have to do it, it's only 2 bolts. And yes, as JW says, you need to remove the lower flywheel cover.
