pulling the head off

It looks like I am going to be pulling head off passenger side do I need to remove the valley pan and if so how does it come off at the back cause wen I pulled my blown motor apart I got the heads off with out takeing the valley pan off and when I tryed to get it off at the back I could not get it without destrying it and they are alittle pricey

There is a plug in the back that holds it down and also serves as the drain for the pan. IIRC it takes an allen head.
