Chris,
Denis did not mention this topic in his instruction sheet...I might be a bit
too cautious, but as the wall thicknesses of the alu sump are far bigger
than of the pressed steel, original, sump, I fear that the oil level gets
too high in the sump (?), causing the crank to foam up the oil. Should I
reduce the oil quantity??

Nah. Thomas.
Denis already thought of that, if any of his other much more complex
products are any guide; and he didn't tell you otherwise in his
instructions.
Otherwise, put the prescribed amount of oil in your old sump; then
pour it into your engine and check the dipstick. And remember that US
litres aren't Imperial litres. And make sure your oil filter is full.
