After spinning a bearing I am paranoid now. I may have even gone the dry sump route, but it appears to be near-impossible with obstacles like an air conditioner and power steering.

I doubt there is any harm to having both a trapdoor pan and Accusump. Belt and suspenders. Then you get the pre-lubed engine start FWIW.

Then there's those who have installed a dry sump system and thrown a pump belt.

I chose just a road race pan for my new engine. I didn't spin a bearing in the old setup, but it was dern close to spinning.

Engine shut off after turn 11. That's when I noticed the big red light on the dash. Corner worker found my belt at turn 7.
