I've read several times (including Gene Berg) that a stock oil pump will
easily flow up to a 2.0L, possibly a tad more. My engine builders stuck
with the stock oil pump -- they said it was a hardy mechanism and would
easily satisfy my oiling needs.
You can add a full flow system without a rebuild. My pump cover and
galley tapping was done with the engine (for the most part) still in the
car. Gene Berg explains how to do it (using compressed air in the
case). I recommend the GB full flow system complete with
Teflon/stainless steel oil lines.

The only things you can do that are really useful are to add a full
flow filter and (posssibly) a larger oil pump. The first can only be
done in the course of a rebuild, and the second is much easier then.
