I think you can skip feed pumps with proper design, mounting the reactor as low as possible in the hull and putting the steam generators at the same level as the condensate trays.Auxiliary seawater pumps can likely get away with scoops as well (with the caveat about needing pumps while pierside), I don't remember there being any on the Ohios.Lube oil pumps are often driven directly off the item they lubricate, with only a backup electrical pump for coastdown.
