Oil pan gasket change 97 deville

Okay i am going to get my oil pan gasket and front valve cover gasket changed this upcoming week. I was wondering if there was any tips that i should know about. I heard you have to remove the drive train to change the oil pan gasket is that true. Let me know if there is any other threads on this. Also this week my service engine soon light came on. The code i got was pcm p0122. Low voltage on throttle positioning sensor. Do you think i should change the throttle positioning sensor. It was running horribly when the SES light first came on. Hesitating at take off then it finally starting running right. The SES light is still on but no codes because ireset the codes.Thanks

1. True

2. SES should go off when codes cleared, try again. If car is runnning ok now I'd leave it alone for now.
