How do I go about removing extra oil I added to the engine (about 1 quart over). I added lucas oil stabilizer, and dont really want to drain it all out. Is there some way I can remove this extra quart of oil without having ALL of the oil come out?

LOL you have to pull the drain plug. Get your self a 1/4 container and put the plug in before it fills up. Recheck the level.

Sorry no easy way like on the tranny because when you add the oil in you pour it right over the rockers and such. No straight shot to the pan.

Or you can pull the filter drain the oil out. Run motor for a few seconds check the level and redo till the level is where you want it.

Pull the filter to drain a quart? Good god what a mess that would make. Just stick with the drain plug.
