No big deal, just unbolt the cat (4 nuts) from the manifold, remove the support bracket from the pipe and remove the support strap from the cat. This sould give you plenty of space to get the pan off. Parting out 95-97 Contours/Mystiques. Contact me directly at ALFIGOLS@yahoo.com if you're looking for a particular part.
