True, you only need a new pump, oil pan gasket and oil and your all set.
Just be sure to have a 1/4" drive socket set to get the last couple bolts
out between the tranny and oil pan.

Not true, there is an easier way. You can simply install the pump and
rotate it until the shaft slides into the distributor slot. The oil pump
sits flush with the block, thats how you know its installed right.
Otherwise you have a 1/4" gap. Rotate the pump back to line up the bolt
holes, simple.
