I was just under my '99 yesterday checking it out for an oil pan swap. I hit a rock on the freeway and put about a half-quart dent in it.
If it'* like mine, there are 18 bolts around the edge. Two you can't see without removing a plastic cover on the rear (transmission end) of the engine. then it will drop right off with no obstructions.
Also, the oil pan bolts are metric but have a 3/8" hex head (sae) bolt head. WTF?
Next, wait til you see what the oil pan gasket costs! $50! So make sure you slop it up good with blue goo so you don't have to do the job again.
Good luck, and please be sure to post in this thread when the job'* done and tell us how it went.

On my 93 SSEi, I had to undo one of the oil cooler lines to get to one bolt...the one on the very tip of the oil pan, right in front of the harmonic balancer. If you have that cooler, there is no other way around getting that bolt out w/ exception of taking off the harmonic balancer...something that should not be done unless absolutely needed. And I want to say it was a 20 mil wrench.
