Thinking further about this...when I put the oil pump pick-up screen in the container of oil and spun the gear with my fingers, it drew oil immediately at a very low and intermittent rpm (all that my 2 fingers could muster). The joint where the pick-up tube attaches to the plate that bolts to the pump was not submerged in the oil, so if it draws air, while in the motor, it should have drawn air during this test. I will look at it again tomorrow though.
