I have built many early engine's using the same oil pan as yours where the baffle was removed with the latter oil pump then installed. Not one of the individuals who have those engine's ever experienced any issues. The 59A engines have no baffles the oil pan design is identical to yours.
Now if you decide to go off roading maybe the oil in the pan may for a split second get away from the pickup but I doubt you will ever experience anything that will cause such issues!
So overall its YOUR call. Use the latter pump it will work perfectly.
