As far as using the same oil pump or getting a new one...as far as I am concerned, you changed things after you inspect them.
When you rebuild, do you just throw out your block or head without inpecting it in favor of a brand new head or block? Nope, no, you don't.
Use that same logic and see what you have first before spending money on a new pump that could very well have the same if not worse specs as your current oil pump.

If you don't have micrometers or feeler gauges, get some. They go for less than an oil pump new.
If you can't comprehend using a feeler gauge, then working on cars may be too complex for you.
BTW, if you want a real 7M-GTE Oil Pan, I can hook you up for $20 plus shipping. PM me if you want.
