Does the oil pan have to be removed to replace oil pump 2004 Colorado 3.5?

Hi,
The oil pump isn't located in the oil pan. However, I believe there are a couple of bolts that go up through the oil pan to the bottom of the cover assembly.
Keep in mind, that is only the pump which I'm referring to. There is still a pick-up tube and screen in the oil pan.
Let me know if that helps.
