The only reason for that closeup is to note what tray didn't work without being modified. However, I think this is exclusive to me since I had to modify it because a block bolt was in the wrong place ... look just above the nut holding down the oil pickup tab ... I had to drill out the pan to clear a studded bolt that is in the wrong place. I have to reference the build manual that I gave the machine shop to see if it was their goof or mine (giving them 2.5L directions). *I THINK* that studded bolt was the old retaining stud for the older design oil pickup and me giving them the 2.5L plans with revised 3L setups would explain why I had to drill a hole in the windage tray. No biggie though ... the bolts are all the same length and torqued to spec.

That isn't out of the ordinary. I've had to modify all of the windage trays when I swap over to the 2.5L oil pan on all my 3L swaps. You need to replaced one of the bolts with one that has a stud on it and drill through the windage tray so it will stick through and the pickup tube has something to bolt to.
