So I recently cracked my oil pan and JB Welded it for the time being to slow down the leaking. But it's time to just replace it but the only concern that I have is along with removing the bolts around the oil pan, there's also this bracket towards the front of the car that covers some of the pan. Do I just unbolt bolt that as well or is there more to it?

Thanks!

Instead of bolting an OEM pan back on I'd use the chance to upgrade to a larger aftermarket pan.

There is a bracket in the passenger front corner that some of the oil cooler/ac lines run though. Yes you need to unbolt that. It has the longer m8x1.25 bolts vs the smaller m6x1.0 bolts that hold the rest of the oil pan. Chase all the bolt hole threads and clean off all old sealant and traces of oil, or it won't seal right. I like the use "the right stuff" by permatex for oil pans.
