Modified f-body oil pan, is the oil capacity ok? I have installed a modified f-body oil pan on a 5.3 to put in my 69 camaro. The notched portion of the oil pan is approximately the size of a quart of oil. Should I run a quart less in the engine now? Will that be ok?

For a hopped up high-rpm engine seeing a lot of track duty, there's been at least one member here who sucked his pan dry and trashed his mains and cam.
