Whereas I can see leaving the "turkey pan" out will cause no issues with sealing - I would add that the "turkey pan" serves more to keep hot oil from hitting the bottom of the intake keeping your air intake temp cooler.

The primary issue is merely having a good seal between the intake and the heads in the first place to eliminate vacumn pulling oil into the intake charge from the lifter valley. Get a good intake gasket as previously recommended, double check to make sure that if the heads and/or block were milled that they were not milled too much to cause a change in the alignment of the intake and head. If there is a big discrepacy of misalignment then even a gasket will not work and you'll have to work on that issue first.

Just a few cents to throw out there.
