For the sake of a £30 sump pan and some time under the car it seems daft to faff about. You will probably find the water pump coolant pipe is also on the way out so you'll be under there anyway.
All jobs demand respect, but the engine block is cast iron - you don't need to treat it with kid gloves. You need a sharp wedge to knock into the joint then lever it off. Obviously don't bash anything thing too far through there is important stuff inside.
