Had time to, and had already moved everything out of the pantry to a temp shelf in the dining room, so I decided to demo the pantry. As it was the kitchen and I suspected dust was going to go everywhere, I got some 9x12 sheets of plastic and some duct tape and blocked off the area. It turned out to work better than I expected too. I need to start doing that little bit of tedious prep work on projects, as at least in this case, it saved me time and headache later on.

So, I still need to patch up the holes with new drywall, but there was a surprising amount of wood used to frame that pantry. Bonus is that I can reuse that downstairs, especially with lumber prices nowadays. Next on the list will be to remove all the kitchen soffits, which should get really messy. Luckily I stuffed batt insulation above the soffits when I was doing all the work in the attic, otherwise I'd just get loose insulation falling down.
