Dropping the sump will not help much as previously mentioned.
The broken piece(s) will probably be laying inside the valve cover area - they may just remain there or get caught up in the camshafts or timing chain depending on how big the broken bits are.......

Thanks! That is kind of what I figured. I have one more to get out the one closest to cockpit, passenger side. Its very stubborn. I have been using the transom to get them out but this one is tough. Once I am done I am going to go back to the one I broke. I saw some long curved needle nose plier at the auto supply store. Going to see if I can pull the piece out. Nothing on these cars is easy!
