Default Vortech oil drain install.....

This must be the most challenging part of the install. Does anyone have any tips before I get started punching a hole in this oil pan? Should I drain the engine oil before I punch the hole? So I use the very small punch to actually make a small hole, then use the larger one to expand it, and tap slowly? Do I add silicone to the threads on the fitting and hope it doesnt leak?
