Default Droping the oil pan, unbolted wont come off

Hey, I'm in the middle of a turbo install, I undid all the bolts on the oil pan and a piece from the tranny that was covering it and it looks like it should come right off but I can't get it down, I've tried prying it with no luck. Any ideas what could be holding it up there? It's a 99 civic lx, d16y7 motor.

I had a similar problem that I did not resolve. You need to remove the section of exhaust pipe that possibly prevents removal of some bolts/nuts at the end of the pan. If this is not the problem, Civicexracer recommended me to give the pan some hard whacks with a large rubber mallet.
