i think the steel gasket is reusable. (undamaged)

the ferrule in the pump. pin 12, I think this part keeps the seal dead center on the crank snout boss.

the pan bolts would have the tendency to push the pump too high, is my guess.

good luck and cheers... dont cha just hate extra parts?

Yes this pin is in on my old block had one each side only one is in. There is only one in the photo. is the second one required?

all parts are needed, i can't think of one extra part, that being said, alignment pins can be skipped if lucky.
if the the head cants, the belt runs off the cogs. head pins.
but the pump pins, i think only keep the seal from early death. if by chance
if the pump can be bolted square, and it holds this location ,all is good, but the pan love to push up the pump, and might cause fast seal wear on the bottom edge of seal
or even cause it to leak, seals only work right dead center. if off center, they act up. and when off center the seal really is not round any more. (I.d.lips)
