Al,
 
here is some more info on the OMP oil feed.
Oil is coming into a recess in the pump drive shaft. The thus formed cavity has a relieve hole as shown in the pic, making the pressure in the cavity practically even with the crank case pressure, depending someway on the flow rate. The roll pin in the relieve hole is to make sure there is no air pocket in the cavity, which is connected to the  pump intake.
Each out put is driven by a separate piston and two are together per stroke. Each stroke is small enough not to create a problem when you block a line off. It Would not hurt the pump if two outputs are connected for double oil flow.
 
I hope it is clear, and not confusing.
