You hit the head to release the oil pan?

On some there are 2 bolts way up between oil pan and converter cover . Did you see any . Some Times the dust cover hides them. I'll see if I can find a pic.

I'll double check, but I think I got them all. Also, it's not budging at ANY point along the pan to block seam.

Solid aluminum pans don't flex. The bolts will break first.

For some reason I thought head, not oil pan. Don't listen to me.
Like Paul said, sometimes there are 2 bolts that you use to push the pan off, one on each side.

Got the oil pan off. It was pretty much a bucket of sludge even after the fresh oil and detergents. No way the pickup was going to clear. Anyway, I'm in process of cleaning it all and putting it back together. Then I'll strain the almost new oil and detergents and run for a bit to see what happens. It must be pretty carbonned up in the intake and pistons. During this process in the last couple of days, I ran some sea foam through it and turned it on later. It belched a death cloud of impressive proportions. I'm a little concerned that even thoguh I cleaned it up, the first time it starts properly running oil through the galleys and passages, it's going to dislodge a ton of sludge in there too and clog the pickup again. Though at least I now the process for romoing the pan so it shouldn't be too bad even if that happens.

PS. Yes there were two sort of concealed bolts under dust covers. Then some mild prying and it came loose. It doesn't have a gasket, you just use RTV to create a seal.

Run some cheap oil and ATF in it for 20 mins then drain it again if youre so worried. You can use my break in oil if you want. I have 4 quarts of Valvoline with 20 mins of run time on it, from the last time I replaced a piston ring.

I have a little more than four quarts of oil with less than 20 minutes on it. That's what I'mma gonna use.
