what is the best way to remove the remaining material , I am thinking that this Pump is on the engine since 1977 ..
Very carefully.

I don't think you will have a problem. If you do have to scrape first try something softer than brass to scrape with; maybe a plastic or wood wedge. If there is any thin film left acetone on a green 3M pad might work.

TRUE GRIT

Edit: The engine is steel so you can be a bit rougher with it if any gasket is stuck to it.
