Toro 455 Oil Deflectors

I am using a 69 Toro 455 in my cutlass and will be installing the correct oil pan for my car. Does anyone know if I need to remove the oil deflectors or should I just leave them there? Also, while inspecting the timing set I noticed the oil slinger was cracked and I can't seem to find a supplier. Thanks in advance!!
