Default Bugeye WRX sump question

Hi, I've got a sump on order at the stealers as its corroded and a little bit of oil is seeping through if you clean the sump off.

The question is can you change the sump without moving/removing the front subframe?? Any thoughts/experiences most appreciated!!

It's either subframe off or engine out.

Just thought I'd update for all the searchers out there!

Sump was just under £100 from subaru. The garage I took it to didnt have to move the engine or subframe but did drop the exhaust down a bit to make it easier. I presume they mean the manifolds given where the sump is.
