[Elecraft] K2 alignment after removing X2

No.

In my case, I didn't get enough range and had to use both crystals.  One
crystal gave about 5.8 kHz, the other 6.something.  With both, I get around
12 kHz.

I am not sure if there is a way to get a reading that says how far the
oscillator was pulled during the Cal PLL task.  I just wrote down the first
frequency, then watched it carefully until it was done and wrote down the
last frequency it displayed.

If the difference is not at least 10 kHz, it won't work.

Cal PLL doesn't tell you it won't work, but you'll find if you tune around
that there are large "dead" spots where the VFO just doesn't tune, even
though the display shows changing numbers.
