Question Baffles Required In New Oil Pan?

I'm replacing the oil pan in an '03 TB LT. I decided not to pay premium GM price and bought a new one online from a 3rd party vendor. It came with no baffles, but the old pan has two (see photo). I checked "Wholesale GM Parts Online" to see if new baffles are available separately. Their callout for the Oil Pan says, "PAN,OIL (NEW PAN LESS BAFFLES,GASKET, WHICH ARE NOT REQUIRED)." I know there is no gasket available for this pan, but there is a GM callout for specific RTV sealant. But baffles are not required? Is that wise? My question: is it advisable to drill the baffles out of the old pan and peen them into the new one? Thanks!
