Welcome marshrunner757 to S&F!!!!
It's going to be difficult to give you a step-by-step instructions for your motor.
I'm not familiar enough with the smaller engines to help out much? If I was there too assist, it wouldn't be that big of a deal to remove it ...... just difficult to do over the internet! :nonod:
Sorry, i'm no help.

Thanks. From what I gather, it's pretty straight forward. Remove oil tank, plug oil lines, remove oil pump and pull the shaft drive for oil pump. Bolt oil pump back in place. Also unplug the low oil level horn. Does this sound right?

Then start adding oil to the fuel!

Doing that could be a disaster. Get the correct block off kit and O ring from your local dealer, they are under $10.
Also equally important to run some pre mix through the system before starting the removal process or you will need to empty the VST and fuel filter. The rest sounds like you have a handle on.
Like mentioned above, figure out how much fuel you have in the tank and add oil accordingly, do not forget!!! If you have any other questions or concerns come back and ask away!
BTW, Welcome aboard!
