I called Thor CS yesterday and asked them how to remove the slide out pantry drawer. They sent me a drawing of the construction, but it was no help. Basically they were no help at all.

After reading the comments below, I took a very close look at the bottom shelf last night. It s firmly stapled down (why can't they use screws in these critical places). So a suction cup won't work to pull it up. I'll probably have to destroy the Luan bottom to get it out. Not a huge deal, I just hate to ruin something just to find out wasn't helpful. Wonder where I can find another piece of Luan to replace it. I'll update with more info as I proceed (with pictures).

Anyway, my Ace 30.1 is parked for Winter here but I checked and the pantry only has one side access not both sides as I mentioned in my original response. I also tried to see if I could easily lift the bottom pantry drawer shelf again for a picture but when I restored it a few years ago after my wiring job I had to use a brad nailer. I would likely destroy the thin shelf wood piece to lift it again. I am sure that was what I had to do to access the screws/plate preventing the drawer from totally coming out and off the lower rolling track. The top did not have any retaining hardware. You might have to take a chance on removing some screws to see if that is what your installation requires to remove the pantry drawer. Thor had to get it installed relatively simply somehow.

That exposes a 3/4" x/34" stapled frame holding another baseboard that also has two phillips screws appearing to hold a metal piece below the baseboard. The metal piece might be the top rail of the sliding mechanism, I don't know. If I remove the screws I may never be able to reattach to the sliding rail. Any more info is appreciated.
