Not sure about the o-ring, but do you have a way of keeping your OMP? It used a different pump than your S5, and without your electric OMP, it will make your car run in "limp mode" It probably wouldnt be that big of a hastle to find a used S5 NA front cover for cheap. Try browsing the For Sales or put up a WTB add.

I believe all 12A and 13B front covers will bolt up, but not sure how the O ring will fit. The S5 has the retainer that hits in the front iron, and I believe pre-S5 have just the O-ring.

My educated guess says that you would use the S5 o-ring assembly and no front cover gasket. Shave down the o-ring and Teflon retainer until the retainer is flush with the boss on the front iron, and the o-ring is slightly above the retainer.
