GA16DE Oil pump problem?

Hello all! I just bought a 93 Sentra SE, 2Dr, auto , air etc..(got it for 200 bucks too! 89k miles)
The motor runs but seems to be having a problem getting oil to the lifters and valves. The valve cover is off of it but like I said, very little to no oil is reaching the camshafts. I cant really hear any bottom end noise which is a good thing I guess but what i want to know is this, has anyone had a similar problem? Does anyone have any experience replacing the oil pump in a GA16DE?
From what I can tell, the oil pump seems to be some type of plunger setup..is it hard to replace? Or should I say screw it and find a wrecked SE-R and swap the whole thing over?
Thanks in advance for any help or opinions with this!

BDR
