2011 V6 Crankshaft removal

Hello. Some of the rod bearings seem to be "stuck" on the crankshaft. I recovered 9 out of 12 so far. It's hard to tell if the other 3 are still on there somewhere, plus, I'd like to have the crank examined to see if it's still ok to use. How does 1 remove the crank? Pistons are already out. Main caps are unbolted, but not moving. Checked forums and Youtube, but couldn't find info on this particular procedure. Thanks in advance!

2011 Camaro v6 Crankshaft

Timing cover is off. Oil pump is unbolted except the torx. Do i need to pull it all the way off? Timing gear is still there as well. Do I need to use a puller to get that off in order to drop the crankshaft? Also---4 of 6 cylinder bores have 1/3 left of the bore still there on the bottom of the block. Normal? Purpose?
