Default Oil Pump Seal Replacement?

2020 Softail 107ci, 25,000 mi. I am in process of installing WM8-22X cam. Should the oil pump seal #62400205 be replaced? Oddly, it was not included in my Cometic cam change kit. Yes, the factory manual has it being trashed, but none of the research mentions replacement.

I assume it may be a lot like the O-Rings in the engine case, that the Oil pump mates with, crushed down for that seal.
I would replace it if it's recommended too. What's it cost? 2$?

When you pull the camplate and cam, the oil pump should stay put, should be no need to pull it. 2020 Softails have the new improved oil pump, if you're interested. - Rob
