Should be fine, if you want to be safe you could install a low oil level sensor 3/4" up from bottom of pan, do a couple test runs (gradually working up to highest rpm shift point, if light doesn't go off on ya than you be good, light goes on then run it a 1/2-1 quart more in pan.

high pressure/high volume pump would be pulling enough oil out of pan @ idle as it is so the extra 1/2 to 1 quart more won't affect windage/drag.

NOTE: make sure your not installing this pump on old sludged up caked up motor.
on a old sludged up motor the oil passages/drainbacks will be restricted causing the pan to run dry
