HELP with VN GEARBOX

[jc1879]

I have a VN commodore that I want to do a gearbox service on.
and my right side engine pipe is bent across the front of the pan which won't allow me to bring it straight down more than 1 1/2 inch, can I take it out sideways?

the filter hangs down a bit to pick up the oil. normaly the pipe is infront of the pan otherwise it would be the lowest part of the car and get whacked all the time.
remember to whipe the sludge out of the pan.

That is where the problem is, the pipe has been banged around a few times and now we can't take the pan straight down because of the short engine pipe, thanks for the answer
