Default Fel Pro one piece pan gasket question.

I have a 69 Camaro that I am freshening up the engine on and have question about the Fel Pro one piece pan gasket..

The block is a replacement 350 engine out of a 1975 or so passenger car with a thick front oil pan seal.

The only gasket stocked at my local parts store with the thick front pan seal is the Fel pro part # OS34510T which has dipstick provisions on both sides, but my dipstick is on the drivers (left) side. It looks like it might leak on the side of the block/pan without the dipstick due to a thinner sealing area. The engine is out of the car right now, and is not coming out again.. therefore I do not want any oil pan leaks.. Does anyone have experience using the double dip stick pan gasket on a single (left) side dipstick block?

Thanks in advance for any help.. By the way, I am a returning member having owned a 68 Coupe a few years back before trading for a 71 Corvette.. I sold the Vette and am now a Camaro owner once again..

I would just order the correct one. Like you said you don't want to pull the engine again. I use them and have no leaks.
