Yeah the oil pan can be tricky. I did mine without lowering the cross member when I needed to weld a bung for KA-T but it really made it a pain. I was in a rush at the time but you really should drop the cross member just to make it easier and you're 100% sure you didn't fudge up the RTV when snaking it back on.
Chaluska has a good idea though. Wrap some grocery bags around alternator, battery, fues boxes, and injectors/electrical components and spray your entire engine bay with Engine degreaser or Simple Green. Follow the instructions and don't be afraid to whip out a toothbrush to get in those tight spots. Then pull out the pressure washer (be careful!) or hose and clean it off. Take your bags off everything and start the engine up to steam clean some more. This will make working in the engine bay much nicer and might give you a better chance of hunting down the leak.
