During an engine swap...

It's easy enough to check the oil pump while the motor is apart (you're only checking clearances) and if it's within spec, leave it be.
I disagree with Khan about the waterpump.
I always replace waterpumps...they're relatively cheap and although it is easy to replace in situ, it's never going to be as easy as when the engine is on a stand.
I'd also get a new thermostat, rad cap and hoses, just to be sure.
Overkill...maybe, but after a major engine project you'll probably have lots of issues to track down and it's nice to be confident of the cooling system.
