I hear you. Here's the problem. Most junkyards won't sell you the r&p separately; they make you buy the entire diff housing.

Since you already have the diff housing, it may be easier to just leave the pinion in the diff. If you only have one HLSD, then it will be easier to have a bunch of diff housings sitting around.

Then when you want to swap gear, you take your HLSD and you bolt it to the appropriate ring gear, bolt the rest of the stuff to the specific housing with the pinion gear already installed.

It will save you a lot of time. Plus if you remove the pinion too many times from a single diff housing you will start chewing up the bearings.
