Yeah, just make sure you get one with the dipstick bump on the side that matches your block, I forget which year they swapped sides.

Several diffrent pans will work. A buddy of mine put a crate motor in his power steering car with no issues. That isn’t to say that some wont fit but there a bunch that will.

Not sure what year your dealing with, but I have early 'vette SB pans that have real long sumps with baffles in them, so a standard pan should be no problem.
