If you mean a pan underneath, no, that's stock.  A lot of people discard
them, though, because they're a pain to remove for maintenance.  The pan
is held on by half a dozen bolts and sheet metal screws, and extends all
the way up to the firewall.  When dropped it's too tall to slide out from
under the van without jacking it up.
