No, you have to remove the exhaust pipe from the turbo, because the pan has to come straight down to clear the connecting rods. Disonnect the O2 sensors at the top of the engine so you don't stress the cables, remove the 3 nuts on the turbo (think Kroil or PB-Blaster), take the rubber hangers off the catalytic converter, and lower the pipe to the ground.

Remove the front transmission engine mount (the one you posted a picture of), take the bolt off the top right engine mount. I removed the engine mount yoke, just so I could see what was going on. You will want to jack up the right side of the car, put a jack stand on that side, and remove the right front wheel. If you don't do that you won't be able to get to the two pan bolts at the front timing cover end of the pan.

Jack up the pan (wood block between the jack and the pan), put your small 2x4 between the oil filter adapter and the subframe. (I think I actually used one of those ruber sanding blocks instead of a 2x4.)

Lower the engine and make sure the pan is completely clear of the spacer block you used. Remove all the pan bolts. Don't forget the bolts at the transmission end. You have to remove the small cover on the transmission, I think, to see those bolts. Whack the pan with a rubber or plastic mallet to free the factory sealant. If the pan doesn't fall, you missed a bolt.

This is all from memory from 4 years ago, but if something is missing from the steps, it will be pretty obvious when you get in there.
