I  suspect it's needed as all cars have them as well as an oil filter- if you have debris in the gearbox for instance (where engine/gearbox share the same oil) it's going to drop into the sump and get sucked into the pick up so a strainer is essential in my view to keep out large bits of metal or rubber etc.

In the complete absence of a replacement I guess it will be a case of adapting one from another engine and joining it to the same end fitting.

Bryanj:
It has to be there as the hole it fits into snugly is too high upnfor oil to be reliably sucked in
