Dipstick location

[Pampas56]

I'm swapping a 350 into my truck and the dipstick on the new engine is right where the D/S exhaust manifold sits. I see a hole on the other side that I can pop a little plug out to install my old dipstick.

The questions are:
Can I get the plug out without removing the oil pan?
Is it reusable?
If not, where can I get a new plug to fill the D/S hole?

Thanks in advance for any help.

okay to get it out drill a small hole in the center a put a screw in it and pull. the way i plug mine you wont like but i taped it and put a pipe plug one u buy at a auto zone. and the dip stick you have on the d/s wont work on the p/s of the motor sorry you will have to buy a new one for like 5 or 10 $$$
