Yes, the pump will come out with the plate removed. As Big Hammer said, buy the cheap tool to hold the pump in place. When the plate is off check the spring that holds the pump up. If it has any rust pits be sure to replace it. Springs with rust pits break easily and that would let the pump fall down and really mess up the engine. I bought an engine once where this had happened. I didn't know that when I bought the engine, but as soon as I rolled the engine on it's side I heard a loud clunk and knew I bought scrap metal. Actually it's rebuildable, but sure not the engine I thought I had bought.
BTW, your pan is a 1928 feature.
