Don't know that engine/body combo. Usually pan gaskets can be replaced without pulling the engine.
Well, I couldn't believe this when I read it...but here it is straight from GM. This is based on a 2WD 4cyl S-10 2000 model year. I just pasted the oil pan removal description because you need to remove it to change the gasket.

Sometimes just looking from the outside isn't going to tell the whole story.
The pan may look like it'll drop right out, BUT it also has to clear the pick up. And that's the real obstacle.

yes you can... I did it but it was on a 2 post lift with a lot of tools at my disposal as I am a tech at a GM dealer. if you plan on keeping the truck it would be good to do as much as you can with the trans out, things that would be harder to do with it in, like the pan gasket, wile your their change the engine and trans mounts.

That, or at least replace the head gasket on that engine. It is a huge weakness of the OHV 2.2
